Do you use voice assistants, for what?

I use Siri on my iPhone sometimes, but mostly just for laughs. I told Siri "Tell Kim I love you". Siri sent my girlfriend an "I love you" message. That was so cute. Siri works well, but has no practical value.

My Samsung Galaxy Note (first generation) came with a horrible voice assistant that popped up at random. When I played music on my phone the dumb thing thought I was talking to it. Samsung forgot to employ an off button. Thankfully it was fixed with a software update six months later.

I rented some Ford (do not remember the model).It had the same voice assistant (Vlingo). The button was in my way. I hit it with my knee all the time. The voice would come up and mute the radio. If I ever buy a car with that installed I will perform some electronic surgery and remove the voice from it.

I used to have a Motorola flip phone with the dumb voice assit button right were I would hit it every time I opened the phone. Some of my friends and I figured out the superglue disables the button nicely.

Do you use voice assist. If not did you come up with a creative way to be rid of it?

Added (1). I hate devices with voices. I do not like video on the internet either. Give me text to read, or do not bother.
