— 🧑 Manu: Hey Google, set a timer for 3 minutes.

— 🔘 Google Home Mini: Okay, 3 minutes, starting now.

[After a few seconds]

— 🧑: Hey Google, play "France Info" [1] .

— 🔘: Sorry I can't do that, but here is a selection of songs based on your request.

[Starts playing music I don't enjoy]

— 🧑: Hey Google, stop.

— 🔘: Okay, I have canceled the timer.

Result: loud bad music + overcooked eggs. Thanks, Google Assistant.

[1] A French public broadcast station, which was supported for years.

@lmanul This fits "wunderbar" to my thinking, how long will it take to dumb down mankind by a stupid AI.

And the question of which is faster, the AI that ignites the planet with its resource needs or the dumbing down of people.

@lmanul It appears that it cannot reliably install more than one timer either. I've almost overcooked pasta twice because the first alarm didn't ring at the programmed time
