우리나라에서 테스트용으로 아마존 에코나 구글 홈을 사용하는 사람들이 있죠.
저희 집도 겸사 겸사해서 아마존 에코를 사용하고 있는데요. 여기에 영어 공부삼아 이런 저런 질문을 던져 보곤 합니다.
그런데 IDG 산하 미디어인 테크 어드바이저에서 구글 어시스턴트의 재치잇는 답변을 받을 수 있는 재미있는 질문 101가지 가 있어 소개해 봅니다.
이를 아마존 에코에게 질문해 에코는 어떤 답변을 하는지 비교해 보는 것도 재미 있습니다.
여기에 소개된 구글 어시스턴트 답변에 비교해서 아마존의 답변은 보다 단순하고 덜 재미있다는 느김이 들었습니다.
아마존 에코나 구글 홈이 없어서 안드로이드 스마트폰에서 언어를 영어로 설정하고 구글 어시스턴트를 사용하면 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있습니다.
