I think I would only be happy with one if it worked as well and as kookie as those in Iron Man. There are 2 clear examples of this: 1) Jarvis the incredible AI. Very very natural speech in both directions. 2) But even his robotic arms responded to incredibly natural and often colloquial speech as well.
The issue is mode changing. Going into that un-natural mode is very disconcerting. I also think you have lot of good points as well. But I really think the technology isn't there yet. I recently demoed a new Ford Sync system (co-done w/ Microsoft) and while it was novel, with good surprises, I think as a total UX it was quite, well sub-par. In the end I don't think people "trust" these systems enough b/c the ones we are forced through have such a negative experience (even if they are pretty darn functional). Meaning that the total experience design is flawed, so even if the technical side works correctly, our total experience emotionally is tied to a very negative response. - dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
