Your AI assistant choice

[eyedroid]

I'm getting U11 and I would like to hear about your experience with Sense Assistant vs Google Assistant. Which one do you prefer and why? (Alexa is not an option).

I actually prefer looking things up on Google manually (since that's where most "AI" responses come from - some database). We're about as far from actual AI on a phone as we are from a manned Mars mission. (Everything is tagged "AI" these days, if it's just a little improvement. It's really "someone set something up and it works, and you don't know how or why".) Looking it up on Google gives me the chance to use HI (human intelligence - mine) to figure out which response is closest to what I want.

Sense Companion (not Sense Assistant) is what is on the HTC U11. It does not serve the same purpose as Google Assistant. All it offers is step count totals, weather forecast, eating suggestions, and storage cleanup. You will find yourself using Google Assistant by simply long-pressing the fingerprint sensor.
