I had a conversation the other day with some who told me that one very useful thing with AI now is that you can use it to find hotels in a city. My obvious reaction was that this has been a one or two button press thing on google maps for a very long time. They replied well yeah but now with AI you can tell it to only find rooms that don't go over a certain price.

I think a good chunk of people just do not ever try to understand what buttons do, ever, and it's maddening.

And a bunch of the times these assistants can't actually do what you can do with the buttons anyway.

I experienced it this morning asking for Google maps to be set to alerts-only mode: "I'm sorry, I can only turn voice guidance fully on or fully off."
