You're viewing a single thread.
Alexa is so bad though. Who's going to pay for that?
“By the way, you can now pay for Alexa AI option if you want me to reply in a slightly smarter way, but I will still cut you off with ads and other useless things. To activate AlexaAI say activate”
"Welcome to the PiHole, Alexa."
Just made the switch to NextDNS. For $2/month I get a lot of the same features but also on my phone when not on WiFi. Still love my pihole though!
"No"
"I heard 'activate'. Thank you! Your credit card will be charged $129 annually. To cancel, please log on to the website because there's no way we're letting you get out of this mess the same way we got you into it."

Unless you're in California
*to the same degree of intelligence as you've previously experienced. (Ps if you don't we're making Alexa have a room temp IQ)
Guess we'll find out when they finally pull the trigger
Mine can't ever seem to tell the difference between on and off if there is any sound in my house
I use "turn on ___" and "kill ___". Much more reliable matches.
Do you change the names of all your devices to people names? The living room lamp is Steve, the bedroom fan is Maryanne...
Which one's Bill?
Good to see people already training ai to kill.
Still better than Siri ...
Siri was always shit but somehow managed to devolve even further lately. I never trusted her to do more than than turning lights on or off but now this shit happens:
Me: Siri, turn off the lights in the living room
Siri: OKAY, WHICH ROOM? BATHROOM, BEDROOM, KITCHEN, HALLWAY, LIVING ROOM?
Imagine living in a mansion with this cunt
I use Google to turn on my TV by saying 'turn on TV', easily done. But then when I ask it to adjust volume it asks me which TV... I only have one TV online and it had just turned it on.
Jeez... at least Siri has an excuse to some degree because of Apples privacy pledge
But he acknowledged that Alexa will need to drastically improve before that happens.
I get tired of the outrage-headline game.
