I think it’s silly to speak in full sentences to home assistants, when I really just use 5 commands most of the time.

It would be snappier to make weird sounds, produced by snapping ones tongue e.g., like some African tribes use in their languages.

Or any other weird, short sounds.

It might be more satisfying to use, and probably funnier.

Also, over the course of a few years this might find its way into everyday spoken language. Which would be wonderfully dystopian and maybe funny.

    Ive always wanted to ask someone who dislikes them , why? I’m not even a fan but their music is so poppy and easy on the ears, and they have a large enough catalogue there must be a couple songs that you like, right? Is it just a “i don’t see the hype” kinda hate, or a “fuck them” kinda hate? How deep does the hate go?

    As an olive branch to get you to explain in more detail i offer my own distaste of a beloved musical genius, Bob dylan. I can’t stand his voice, hate his harmonica, hate his lyrics, (think people ascribe more meaning to them than they have). Friends have gotten really mad at me for this take but im not edgy, i truly cannot stand the music. The only reason i can think of why people like him is maybe he changed what popular music could be about? Words and politics and poetry in music that previously was more literal?

    Im lost.

    Ok now you! :)
