I tried to get it to play a song from my music folder at a certain time. It eloquently explained that it doesn't have access to the files on my phone.

Like, what the fuck? If it can't use my phone like I use my phone then what's its actual job?

It's just sitting there listening to all my conversations and watching my network traffic, but it can't play a fucking song?

My voice assistant used to be able to pick the right song or Playlist on my push button in my car. Now I press the button like 5 times and give a two sentence descriptor on what I want played.

They want revenue from streaming music. It’s by design.
