There are whole categories of gadgets - like, say, "#SmartSpeakers" - that are unsafe at any speed. At a certain point, reviewers need to have the guts to say that every manufacturer in an entire sector is a dumpster fire and they should all be dragged in front of a firing squad - or at least a Congressional committee.

Seems like it's a known problem. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/help/issues/smart-speaker/google-live-issue - Bring back the days when we were in control of our devices and code run on them, it's beyond frustrating stuff just breaking and not being in control to be able to fix it yourself. #iot #google #smartspeakers #GoogleHome #AmazonAlexa

In the wake of layoffs at both Google and Amazon in the #VoiceAssistant areas, as well as the shuttering of @mycroft_ai, this piece from Katherine Latham for the #BBC sheds light on some of the adoption challenges of this technology, including #privacy, and intrusive #notifications, as well as the "discovery problem" - different voice assistants have different capabilities and skills, and it's hard to know what's available.
Will we see #VoiceAssistants and #SmartSpeakers adopt more on-device and private capabilities, perhaps in the form of the new Home Assistant hardware? And what does a viable business model look like?
What are your thoughts on the future of #voice, #VoiceAssistants and #VirtualAssistants?

“Users have complained about the limitations of the Siri ‘intelligent’ assistant for years, but now that OpenAI’s ChatGPT is showing the world that artificial intelligence can do amazing things, it’s never been more obvious that Apple’s version is as dumb as a bag of hammers. ... Apple needs to step up its AI game or it risks being left out of an important new wave of computing.”
