Sometimes I think I'm the only one on HN that doesn't use a digital assistant.
Like yeah, I'll use ChatGPT all the time at home, and Claude all the time at work. I'm not anti-AI.
But I'm an Android user and I barely use Gemini at all. I don't have a smart home and never will because it just seems pointless. I walk by the light switches on my way in/out of a room. It takes less effort to just reach up and hit the switch as I walk in/out than to say "okay google, shut off the office lights" and hope it answers.
On rare occasions, if I want to find out a quick factoid, I'll ask a question, but that's as far as my usage goes.
