Google Go, Alexa, Cortana, Siri and Facebook Portal are NOT AI or smart. The voice to text is deliberately done on the companies' servers to acquire information about the users (the product). It could be done locally twenty years ago. Phones, tablets and TVs, not just so called "smart speakers" like Echo have been supplying user information to Google/Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook/Meta for years and this is being used in house illegally and sold to third parties. Poorly paid humans are also used to listen as actual speech recognition (really pattern matching and then a search back end for the text) isn't much better than 25 years ago. It just needs less "training" on site.
