Google has announced a tweak of Google’s small but very comfortable assistant: AI will now silence himself when you say it to “stop.” This change eliminates the need to use the word “Hey Google” before telling the assistant to cancel the response, which is awkward when AI is raving about something you don’t want to hear. Changes now live.
As with Siri and Alexa, Google Assistant responded “Wake Word,” which refers to the term used to let AI know you talk to him. If you have a Google Smart Speaker, Smart Display, or ask for Google Assistant on your phone, you might be used to Word Wake Word “Hey Google”. This is similar to “hey siri” on Apple devices and only “Alexa” on the Amazon device.
Phrases “Hey Google” remain and you still need to say it before asking questions or giving orders; This is important for privacy reasons, plus it prevents the assistant respond to every random question and statement he heard.
Wake Word requirements are frustrated when the assistant is launched into a long explanation of something you are not interested in. If, for example, you use smart speakers with the volume appear, the device might not correctly hear the word wake up before you say it to stop, require you to say “Hey Google, stop” several times before responding.
It has changed, Google said in Tweet on January 25, 2022. If you have a smart Google Assistant speaker or smart display, you can now say it to “stop” when talking without first saying “Hey Google.” This will, of course, trigger an assistant to stop talking. This feature may be very useful for households with young people who like to ask a random AI question.
This is not the first time Google has an assistant equipped with the ability to comply with the command of the sans wake. For example, assistants on Pixel 6 smartphones support fast phrases, which are predetermined words and statements can say certain actions.
When activated, the phrase quickly allows users to answer the incoming phone call just by saying “answer.” Likewise, assuming the feature is turned on, the owner of Pixel 6 can say “stop” or “delay” when the timer or alarm sounds.
