Google Assistant vs Siri

The battle of our imaginary friends:


Boy, that was some contest. Arguably, I think Siri has the prettier UI screen while Google's assistant wins out in other areas. Pros and cons for both sides.

When I taught my sister how to utilize Google's assistant, she was beaming from ear-to-ear, which inevitably led to her hammering on the assistant with.. well, weird questions - something which I was guilty as charged too when I first had a go at it as well. #CheapThrills

Throughout the years, I've tried other third party assistants, one on my jailbroken once-upon-a-time iPhone and a few on Android thereafter. The Android ones eventually got as good as being all completely wiped out by Big G's, though some of them actually turned out to be pretty good and functional for what they could do in their time, albeit being slower in response speed. But that was then and this is now.

Oh well, our imaginary friends have come a long way and I wonder if anyone still asks Siri where they can hide a dead body in jest now in 2016, which was the trend during 2011, remember?

What if, based on the rate that things will be going on both fronts, Siri eventually finds itself turning out to actually be that dead body everyone's been pestering her about way back in 2011? That would be tragic but morbidly funny at the same time. Maybe I'll fire up Big G's assistant and ask it just that, since I've never seen a virtual assistant rolling its virtual eyes at me before.
