They are considering charging because Alexa is about to get a massive update with agent capabilities. If you are paying 20/month for gpt4, you are probably willing to pay much more for amazons equivalent but that can actually do things for you like get groceries, get things delivered, one command purchase, etc. maybe even buy plane lowest cost plane tickets or make reservations.
- NewJazz 3y agoIf it could really do all that stuff then wouldn't amazon just earn a commission on all those purchases and call it a win? Also funny how all of the capabilities noted boil down to "Alexa can spend your money more easily and quickly".

- ascorbic 3y agoIf it gets good LLM abilities then I'm sure I'd use it more, but I still won't use it to buy things and I don't think many people will. I genuinely wonder how many people are happy to routinely buy things without the most cursory ability to compare prices and options.
