Google, Siri, and Alexa all agree I’m on the right track, BTW.
I would argue that they are so rudimentary and universally terrible that it argues the exact opposite.
They’re able to convert speech to text fairly well but understanding and taking action on that speech their common use cases are measured in the dozens.
I have an Echo in every room but I use Alexa for a shopping list, weather, to play music and set my thermostat. Anything other than that and it gets very lost.
- rbanffy 4y agoSorry. I was being sarcastic. OTOH, we can’t argue they do the job of a not particularly bright human quite well, so, at least, those humans have already been replaced. There was at least one POTUS in recent history that could be replaced by a probabilistic prose generator and nobody would notice.
- belter 4y agoThe POTUS you are thinking about, at least could never be impersonated by Deep Fakes. Anybody would notice the missing outrageous statements.
