- BoorishBears 9y agoI mean, does “Play something else” work? That’s one step removed from expecting Alexa to understand human emotions but still a rather natural interaction
- derefr 9y agoIf phone trees can jump straight to a representative when you swear at them, Alexa should be able to treat an angry tone of voice as a generic undo.
- BoorishBears 9y agoIf phone trees can jump to an option in a tree whose options you could probably map out by hand in a few minutes... NLP should recognize your tone of voice and undo actions that have an uncounterable number of subtle interactions with different systems? Isn’t that a bit of a stretch? And generic undo of playing a station is... playing a different station? Not stopping the music altogether? The concept of generic undo would be hard for people to come to a consensus on, let alone an NLP system.
