Same. I never understood it. My family would try to convince me that it only listens when you say "Alexia" or w/e, but then I'd say "how did it here its name in the first place?" I never bothered to actually research if there is an answer to this, (probably just company propaganda anyway) but it was enough for me to outlaw that shit from ever entering my home.
I think in more innocent days I could understand why people thought it was cool. I still run into customers that use them because they feel slow at typing while texting friends.
There is a genuine desire out there for a Jetsons-like life where Rosie the Robot rolls in when you call for her. I get it. But the weird thing about wishing for Rosie the Robot is it seems to make people more frustrated with technology, not less.
In the meantime, it's fun harassing the cat with a roomba. I think that's the closest to the Jetsons I'll ever get. I know we won't ever have flying cars on a mass market since we can't trust people on the ground...
Well; even the smart phones listen. I was watching YouTube and the TV show The Jeffersons was mentioned. I jumped over to ebay and a bunch of Jeffersons swag was suggested.
Anyone dumb enough to put one of those things in their house deserves what they get
Exactly.

I only ever use Siri when I need to call someone while I’m driving
