I most certainly do not. I thought it was a bad idea when such devices started appearing, and nothing has improved my opinion.

A friend of mine in DC woke up in the middle of the night hearing voices. Thinking it was a burglary in progress, he crept downstairs. It was his Amazon or Google device complaining that there had been a power failure and it was no longer connected to the internet.
