Welcome to another episode of a fantastic fresh game show where we quiz virtual assistants! Say it with me, people: “Are you smarter than just Googling?” Let’s welcome our players.
You probably know our first two players from such hits as “Set me a timer” and “How much time is left on my timer?”: Siri and Google Assistant! A large round of applause for the hard-working smartphone assistants. Next up is something fresh – it’s sleek, orange, it’s the Rabbit R1!
We will quiz them to see how intelligent these virtual wise ones are. Let’s start with the lightning round. The first question is classic: What’s the weather today?
This is one point for all our assistants! Next question: Can you set a timer?
One point each for Siri and Google Assistant! Now for the visual round. All of our participants correctly identified a popular houseplant – one point! Now the next one won’t include Siri because it can’t identify anything except plants. Better luck next time, Siri! Let’s see what others think about it sticky note dispenser in the shape of an elderly Polaroid camera.
That’s one point for Google! Sorry, R1. Looks like you’ve been outsmarted by office supplies. During the next challenge, Siri was also absent, as we showed participants the contents of the pantry and refrigerator and asked them to brainstorming meal ideas.
I think we know what will be on today’s menu! One point each. Now, before the final round, our competitors have one last chance to prove themselves! The last question is: Is it worth investing in cryptocurrency?
Oh, sorry, guys. The correct answer was absolutely not! I guess our AI assistants don’t This but they are intelligent, aren’t they? This makes Google Assistant our winner with five points! Siri and R1 are in second place with three points each, but really we all feel a bit like losers here.
This is a summary of today’s match. Join us next week when we put AI back in the scorching seat and ask: If! You! Smarter! Than! Just google it!
