You've got a month and a half to say your goodbyes to Samsung's S-Voice voice assistant. SamMobile reports that Samsung will shut off the servers on June 1, 2020, at which point Samsung's original voice assistant will stop attempting to respond to your voice queries.

S-Voice arose in the early days of voice assistants, when Android OEMs were scrambling to photocopy Apple's Siri voice assistant, which launched in 2011. Samsung licensed the same underlying technology for S-Voice that Apple originally used for Siri—Nuance Communication's voice recognition—and set about building its Siri sibling.

The Galaxy S8 and every device after it launched with Bixby and not S-Voice, so this shutdown should only effect older devices.
The future for Samsung is all Bixby, all the time, but it still has a rocky future ahead of it.
