Do you think at some point in the near future you will be able to buy off the shelf #AI servers for home use that deploy as easily as a home-security NVR and have local voice control satellites / speakers / sensors (for example as easily as Reolink home security systems) effectively giving you the same power as #chatgpt / #alexa / #siri etc but totally local to your home? I feel like something like this could be the next big evolution for #HomeAssistant

This morning I am mildly amused by #Alexa's different responses to "Is today Monday?" (Yes) and "Is it Monday?" (the days, hours, and minutes until _next_ Monday).

I reckon two different people wrote the code for those responses, without talking to each other and without checking for prior art first. I wonder which came first.

"[A] team of researchers recently set out to determine just how much companies like Amazon, Apple and Google are using the data gathered through their voice assistants to profile us –– track and monitor our behavior –– across the internet.
(...)
The study focused on the behaviors of the three biggest voice assistant platforms: Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant. What researchers found was that how concerned you should be about your smart assistant profiling you varies greatly depending on which device you use.

But in order to figure this out, they had to essentially trick voice assistants into profiling them.

They downloaded publicly available information that Google compiles on every user based on their searches, like gender, age range, relationship status and income bracket. Using those labels, they were able to design questions that could easily convince the platforms that they were, for example, married, had children or were a homeowner not a renter.

The researchers then recorded themselves asking these questions and replayed the audio to voice assistants over and over again. Over the course of 20 months, they conducted 1,171 experiments involving nearly 25,000 queries.
(...)
What they ended up finding was that Alexa exhibits the most straightforward kind of profiling behavior: It’s all based on your interest in products.
(...)
However, with Siri and Google Assistant, things are more complicated.

After reaching out to Apple to get their data, the company insisted “they had no data on us,” Choffnes says, “which means we couldn’t even test anything or prove any hypothesis about whether there was any profiling happening.”
(...)
Meanwhile, Google Assistant was the strangest of the bunch. The researchers found that it was clearly profiling its users but often incorrectly."

#Alexa : “Good morning CheapPontoon our privacy policy has changed. Is it OK if I send all audio up to the Amazon cloud for our AI and for marketing?”

Me: “ no thank you Alexa. I will opt out of that., but I appreciate you not being an invasive fascist suck up to the Trump administration and at least making it easy for me to opt out of this.”

Amazon beendet lokale Verarbeitung von Alexa-Anfragen
