    How about just “tea” and the computer figures out the rest

      Yup, just tell it that whenever he asks for tea, he wants hot Earl Grey. Maybe he liked saying the whole thing every time.

      I could see saving presets, but having the computer assume would be like when you search for something online and it returns a bunch of results that are ALMOST what you want.

      Maybe if you just say “Tea” the most common result is a T-shirt or a T pipe. It feels a lot like adding “buy” to a search to clarify you want to purchase something instead of researching it.

      Having the computer intuitively know what you want when you request something would require a perfect understanding of your mind and how it operates. Now do that for every single person who may use the device. Yikes!

        Lately, I have to add “Wikipedia” in order to research something, because otherwise Google throws seller ads and seo optimised totally-articles-and-not-ads my way.
