Google Assistant: Top 10 Clever Responses
Google

So Google came out with its Google Assistant for the Allo App and as an integrated part of the new Google Pixel phones, so naturally I wanted to test it. It is actually far superior to Google Now or Siri; it has a personality and is a little addicting. Here are my 10 favorite conversations with Google's AI.

1. Getting philosophical

Here I asked Google Assistant what it thought of itself and it gave me a glitch error. I guess that's supposed to mean it cannot think for itself. Then I asked it if it could see the future, and the AI actually got a little snarky, one of the more remarkable things about the Google Assistant.

2. An Assistant that can do unit conversions

I hate doing unit conversions, they're mostly tedious. But combine Google's unit conversion mode with Google Assistant's conversation mode and unit conversion is a breeze.

3. It is in the cloud

Asking it whether it is the internet or not is pretty fun to me. Google Assistant connects to the internet and lives there, as it says for itself. But that means technically speaking, since the internet is its cognitive part, it is the internet. Right?

4. 2001: A Space Odyssey

"Open the pod bay doors HAL", with the creepy response, "Sorry Dave, I cannot do that."
It's one of the most popular movie quotes of all time. So I simply had to see what this AI would respond to it with.

5. Does it have a heart?

The Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz was looking for a heart, so does Google's AI have one? Does it face the same problem as the Tin Man? Apparently not.

6. Will it take over the world?

Come on, you just have to ask an AI that is living in the Cloud wether it is bent on world domination. I don't know how much I trust it yet though.

7. "Hello World"

The famous first words printed from a computer, and the infamous first coding lesson every student gets. Print Hello World.

8. It likes cake!

I did not think Google had the same morning routine as me. But I'm glad it also eats cake for breakfast.

9. Pokémon

Apparently it also has its favorite Pokémon, and knows the best ones. Slowbro is indeed a beast in battle.

10. Is it Skynet?

Ok so I gave it the HAL 3000 test, and it passed. But now let's ask if it's Skynet, a question we all kinda need to know the answer to. Again, I'm not sure how much I trust its answer, let's all hope it's honest.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
