There's something a little sad about this. Unlike at home, hotels are a place where you already have a voice assistant - the concierge, that'll give you restaurant recommendations, pick up your laundry and call a cab for you. And do a much better job than any automated voice assistant will do. But I don't doubt for a second that this will eventually be paired with a strong rollback of real humans manning phone lines.

Sigh.



There's already a very easy and commonly deployed way to save on a concierge: don't have one.
