The Sims gets its own in-game Alexa-style assistant, Lin-Z

Nothing like The Sims to disconnect a little from reality. Moving away from the increasingly ubiquitous world of smart assistants, by contrast, is a whole different matter. EA announced this week that the series of favorite and perennial life simulations is getting its own intelligent assistant. Lin-Z is a bit like a version of Alexa in the game – or, in this case, Google Assistant, Siri or Bixby or Cortana, et al. Accessible via a smart speaker with a brilliant and familiar green diamond, the assistant can play music, make anecdotes, tell jokes, turn on and off lights (smart home!)
