And it just keeps getting worse.
I’ve had several Alexas scattered around my house for years now. Seems everytime there’s a new update they function worse. Literally considering getting rid if them at this point.
Every day I tell myself I’m ditching them and “just” getting HomeAssistant.
Use shit product. Get shit results.
Make shitpost
Wait, it’s all shit?
Always has been.
For shit you are and to shit shall return
Shartles all the way down
Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me
7 years ago, my google home rebelled against me. That was the first and last time I think I ever tried to use it to make any sort of list.

Are you brit and you call your assistant Vera?

I am surprised at how often I will do something like “Play ‘The Apple Orchard in Saghmosavanq’ by Tigran Hamasyan” and I get back “Now playing Christina Applegate”. It’s like AI latches on to they biggest keyword it can detect and focuses on that even if it violates part of the search parameters.
LLMs are just a phone autocorrect with a phone the size of a small town
I have the problem with Google Assistant in Dutch that I asked for “speel muziek x” and it just starts to spel the words.
I’ve been moving to Music Assistant with nodes that use Nabu, so all local and it actually tries to do what I asked it for
