   This is another one in a growing collection of sort-of retrospectives about voice assistants, with most of them focusing on the fact that they're just not making any money, especially where Alexa is concerned;

   And nobody involved seems to be asking the tough questions, such as whether there's actually enough of a market out there for voice assistant 'skills’.

   It's kind of like AR/VR; a nice gimmick, useful for some people, but not the sort of tech that tech bros desperately want it to be.

   So they're jumping headlong into ‘AI’ assistants instead 🙄
