Allo! Are you Siri-ous? Google Assistant is creepily accurate and human-like

Google's new messaging app Allo was released on September 21 and people have been going gaga over it. For legit reasons, we must say. Half of those who are talking about it are impressed by the app's preview edition of it's artificial intelligence based chat bot Google Assistant and other half is worried about the privacy policies of the app.

NSA whistle blower Edward Snowden has been bashing Allo since the time Google announced it in May. Then, Snowden said, "Google's decision to disable end-to-end encryption was dangerous" and now, as Allo launches without end-to-end encryption like Whatsapp, Snowden is of the opinion that no one should ever use Allo as it has 'serious privacy problems'.

Despite taking Snowden seriously, we decided to install Allo and give the Google Assistant a try.

This is how it starts

We asked the most important question first, something both iOS and Android fans are keen to know

Smart, ain't it?

Now, the second most important question

Here, the answer wasn't perfect but almost there, and it responds with a Siri-like "I found this on the web". Interesting thing to note is that it gave an India Today link to the question. We don't know whether it's a coincidence or its intelligence.

And then...

It gives human-like reactions. Impressive, right?

For those who got smartphones but a lonely life, we tried this.

We also learned that it can give you a good ego massage.

It says Ok on hearing "I like to call you 'love'".

Here's trying to meet some demands

And testing some of the basics

Here are some of the responses from those who have tried Allo

Allo app also understands English words typed in Hindi, and gives you reply options. Now that, is so cool!

Allo understands English typed in Hindi, and suggests reply options. It's scary, dangerous and bloody impressive. pic.twitter.com/fRm5ZPu4kg Vivek S Nambiar (@ivivek_nambiar) September 21, 2016

Here's a comparison between Apple's Siri and Google's new assistant.

On the whole, pretty cool, Google. But we hope you guys would enable end-to-end encryption and offer more privacy too. Be nice, please?
