AI Voice Assistants Coming in Hot: Leaving Fingerprints on your Browser

If you thought Siri and Alexa were just here to answer your weird, 3 a.m. questions, well, you’ve grossly underestimated their ambitions. WIRED recently took a peek into the future as they experimented with new-age voice assistants that have more talents than an octopus playing a guitar. Spoiler alert: Soon, they might be cycling through your web browser faster than you can say “Whatsapp”.

Key Takeaways from the Article

• Next-gen browsing: The world of voice assistants is escalating faster than a gym bro’s protein intake. The latest iterations are looking less like digital daredevils and more like online ninjas who’ll navigate the Web and perform tasks on demand.
• Siri and Alexa’s glow up: This leap forward in technology could mean we see Siri, Alexa, and their digital buddies evolve from amusing novelties to fully-fledged technological powerhouses.
• Data diet:No more will these digital crusaders be starved of data and confined to pre-programmed responses. Instead, they’ll be feasting on the rich banquet of online info, flipping between webpages, and pulling out info like a magician pulling rabbits from a hat.
• The future we didn’t know we needed: This seismic shift might not just spell convenience (imagine your fuming spouse pacified by an AI assistant fetching info on the fly), but could be critical in aiding those who struggle with traditional web browsing.

Final Thoughts

If you’re on the fence about embracing these increasingly capable and audacious AI sidekicks, remember, they only want two things: to help you and rule the web (probably in that order). Here’s hoping they remember their roots when they’ve taken over our browsers and are plotting their next move. And here’s also hoping that using them doesn’t require a firm “please” and “thank you” every time we ask them to load Instagram.
