Amazon Alexa vs. Google Assistant: A war of words

In a recent study by Gartner Reports, the analyst estimated that by 2020 the average person will have more conversations with bots than with their spouse. The report failed to clarify if this was attributed solely to increasing dependence on AI technology, or if deteriorating spousal relations played a role as well. I suppose it could be a blend of both. What is clear is that there is an inevitable trend moving from screen interfaces to chat interfaces that has all major tech companies scrambling to ensure they have a place at the table in this AI assistant future. It is no exaggeration to say that the business models of most major tech companies rely heavily on users looking at a screen.
