Samsung might have just confirmed Bixby, the next ridiculously-named AI assistant

We've gotten used to calling on Siri, Cortana and Google to answer questions, give directions and tell really bad jokes -- and it looks like yet another oddly-named digital assistant is about to join the roster. According to a screenshot of the Korean version of Samsung Pay's beta page captured by SamMobile Monday, Samsung's upcoming AI program will be named Bixby. The name appeared as a category available for selection on a drop-down menu that appeared on the site.
