My android phone has been begging me to talk to her for more than a year, but i refuse. It's still deep in the uncanny valley for me. You mentioned yourself that it might be useful in the car, where you are alone and nobody can hear you. Speech is disemmination, not simple message passing. It's literally shouting, when you really should only be whispering. If it was handwriting-recognition or some magical mind-reading or gesture-reading device i 'd use it.

And what if people can hear you, in the street say? It's not like we don't already TALK to our phones all the time while walking in the street. You think it matters to passers-by if you talk to your boss or Siri?

Huh? What do you mean with this bizzaro comparison?
It's all a matter of least effort. I can imagine a few situations where it's handy, but most times the gain in effort to setup a reminder for example is offset by the inappropriateness of the situation. It becomes net positive at times when your hands are not available (the promo video shows people running, cooking, driving)
