Bixby 2.0 - Successes and Failures

[The_Chief]

I have been advocating for Bixby for a while now, and I really want to like her. I'm trying to give her every opportunity to be the assistant she's supposed to be. But so far I'm less impressed with v2 than I was with the half-baked v1. At least it was half-baked - I don't think this one made it to the oven!

She can't understand me half the time (I speak pretty good English), and all the settings to improve accuracy are gone! So I thought (foolishly) that the settings were accessible through Bixby. I asked 'how can you improve your accuracy?'

This is the response I got.

It's as if the Samsung read the book on how to properly create a smart digital assistant, and then purposely did the exact opposite!

Bixby seems to have gotten WORSE with 2.0 - and considering how bad the first version was, that's a dubious achievement...

LOL! That is funny! Sorry. I know you really wanted it to be great but you have to admit that your statement was funny.

I don't think we should be concerned that humans are under threat from AI any time soon

If Samsung ever renames Bixby 'Skynet' I will be able to sleep at night

Maybe they updated Bixby, but it's getting a bit better. At least I found settings!
