Yeah, I thought this way as well. But we've been using Alexa for random actions that become fairly normalized. It's connected to our sound machine, it can turn on lights, it clears out notifications, it's fun for the kids, and it does give us quick info.

It's definitely not a huge part of our lives, but it's now integrated in with some small things that we're fairly happy with it. I think it comes down to what you want to use it for. Someone just keeping it around in hopes that maybe they'll have some interesting discussion with AI is really just buying into a consumer fappening, but if you have actual networking solutions you apply it to then it becomes kind of useful.
