Oh come on, I haven't tested it lately but for like 5 years, if you asked Google, "play Mozart next" it would say it can't find "Mozart next".
Even with the most common use cases it doesn't even try. One coder, one evening, simple pattern matching + a few rules and it could be improved so much. I simply don't understand how they can keep it so bad for so long. There were more examples like this, I don't really have a list since I gave up on it.

Exactly what I've been thinking in the last 10 years. It was ludicrously bad, and not improving even on obvious things. They just sat on it.
I don't know what you're talking about. "play Mozart next" opens Spotify and selects Mozart for me. if anything, it's too eager to play music. Sometimes it thinks turning off the lights is a request to play a song.
Now try “play two Mozart songs, a Bruce Springsteen song, and then four flaming lips songs” or ask it to play Dark Side of the Moon in alphabetical order.
I think the point is that you shouldn’t have to explicitly implement any of this stuff. It should “understand” basic commands that include sequences and counts.
It seems like ChatGPT could be a giant leap ahead of the current crop of home assistants.
