    While driving, I was using google maps on android auto when I wanted to find the nearest charging station. So I used the search function in google maps. By tapping the microphone button. IN GOOGLE MAPS. Saying clearly: “Charging station”. TO GOOGLE MAPS.

    “Ok. Playing playlist ‘Charging station’ by [some random user] in spotify”

    … Nothing.

    Apparently my girlfriend, who was at home, was using Spotify at that time. So it changed the playlist for her.

    Technology is great.

      I asked “is it going to rain tomorrow”

      “What about tomorrow?”

      “It is not going to rain this evening”

      Thanks for that. Really not worried about AI taking over the world by the way.
