Google Assistant wins MKBHD's 2023 Voice Assistant Battle!
MKBHD
With Marques last testing the most popular voice assistants in 2017, he has decided to test them all again five years later.
Google Assistant won the first place, with Siri and Bixby being next and Alexa clearly being far from the competition.
Google Assistant and Siri were both fast to answer questions. However, Siri and Bixby struggled with lagging or hanging during the test.
They all were good with answering questions or facts, but Google Assistant and Bixby did the best job with controlling the device with the ability to easily take selfies, play movies on Netflix, and start recordings.
Google Assistant also stood out for its ability to maintain a conversation, with Siri coming in a close second.

India officially recognizes esports as a legitimate sport
The Government of India announced that eSports (Electronic sports) will now be a part of multi-sports events and will be overseen by the Department of Sports under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in India. Online gaming, on the other hand, will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY).
The director of the Esports Federation of India has stated that the proper infrastructure, training facilities, and coaching will be put in place to support the country's young esports athletes. It is only a matter of time before esports is placed on the same level as traditional sports like cricket, football, and basketball, with similar fan power and popularity.
The year 2023 is expected to be the start of a golden era for esports in India, with the Asian Games and Olympic Esports Week set to take place. Esports will also be making its debut at the postponed Asian Games in Hangzhou, China as a medal event after being a demonstrative sport in 2018. In November 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed that the inaugural Olympic Esports Week will take place in Singapore between June 22 and 25 in 2023.
