Ah, if only all our problems could be solved by handwaving away the hard part (in this case, distinguishing commands directed at the machine from other speech, including voice lines on the TV).
- necovek 5y agoThere were several solutions presented earlier (do not use a human name, make every owner choose a name) that are possible right now and do not cause any of the issues a current choice has. This was a proposal for where we should be going if we care about the even terser communication (which was the argument being made), and where ultimately, voice assistants are surely going (otherwise, if we do not develop speaker-recognition ["there are two persons talking, look for extra hints that message is aimed for me"] and tone recognition, home-integrated ones will soon be unlocking doors for thiefs who can shout "Alexa, unlock doors" or "open windows" loud enough, or, you know, using a loudspeaker).
