There is a certain awkwardness I feel whenever I visit a friend who had smartified the house.

"Oh, let me demonstrate this. Ok Google, turn off the lights."

"Ok Google, turn on the lights now."

"Ok Google, mute."

"Ok Google, turn on the lights."

"Ok Google, turn on the lights, damn it."

"Ok Google, turn, on, the, lights---there you go. I swear it works better yesterday."

Might as well just flip the switch myself, if I have to debate the assistant half of the time in total darkness.
