Am I the only one who thinks Amazon Alexa is overrated?

The only three voice features I use are:

- Set the timer to 10 minutes (mostly pasta)

- Wake me in 1 hour (for a nap)

- How is the weather today?

That's it and and I don't have a home which is connected to my phone like most out there.

I think voice control only makes sense for commands where you don't need further interactions with the system, like watching a result on a screen or when driving a car. Then it's ok, otherwise I can't imagine any voice driven killer app.
