These signals are then embedded into a carrier, such as an app or YouTube video. When a vulnerable device picks up the carrier, it ends up obeying the hidden embedded commands."

"Academics in the US have developed an attack dubbed NUIT, for Near-Ultrasound Inaudible Trojan, that exploits vulnerabilities in smart device microphones and voice assistants to silently and remotely access smart phones and home devices."

Excellent article from #NYTimes by @bxchen, @nicoagrant@twitter.com,
@KYWeise@twitter.com which articulates why #VoiceAssistants have struggled to find product-market fit: their internal designs are cumbersome to extend, and in the words of #SatyaNadella, they're "dumb as a rock".
Will #ChatGPT and other #LLMs render them obsolete?
I'm not so sure.
#LLMs are *probabalistic* - they give wrong answers. #VoiceAssistants, by contrast, are more deterministic - and are often linked to back-end #APIs, like @Wolfram or @Wikipedia.
That is, for a given command - an #utterance - there will be a deterministic response. They might be dumb as a rock but I trust what a rock does.
Voice assistants are interfaces. Interfaces to content, to news, to entertainment, to data. Voice assistants are a door. And right now, they can gatekeep what comes through.
#ChatGPT, #Claude and #Bard are *probabalistic* models. Let's not let them flood the house with garbage.

"As we try to normalize artificial interactions with human-like computers, having zero control over a device you’ve let into your home just so some product manager can juice their engagement KPIs is annoying and also kind of terrifying. Tech companies have to recognize just how powerless these interactions make the consumer feel."

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?
