Google health home Assistant Now Running Ads

The Google health home Assistant would now run advertising. Today, some Google health home owners said they heard something more when they asked for a summary of the day to come: an ad for Beauty and the Beast.

Will the Google health home Assistant continue to advertise or was it just a life-size Review? Besides, was it really advertising? The announcement was broadcast with the voice of Google Assistant, which allowed it to blend in perfectly with other information from My Day.

"Besides, the Disney box office opens today for Beauty and The Beast," said the assistant. "In this version of the story, Belle is the inventor instead of Mauritius. (…) Ask me something about Belle. This is the announcement that users have heard.

For its part, Google fiercely denied that this audio ad is an advertisement and was justified, at first, in a rather strange way: "It is not an ad, our partners can be invited to share their stories with our users. For me, partners = customers and stories = advertisements. In short, although Google says the opposite, it is indeed an advertisement for its "partner" Disney.

Google then gave further explanations about the dissemination of this message:

"It was not an advertisement. What circulates online was part of our My Day service which, after having provided useful information on your day, can sometimes offer content that seems suitable to it. We continue to experiment with new ways to present unique content to users and we could have done better in this case. "

This statement from Google therefore suggests that this operation would not signal the start of advertising in the Google health home Assistant. Hopefully, as this could drastically drop sales of this product!
