It wasn’t already?
Haha and the suckers paid for the priviledge!
Lol they pay to say things to this device and listen to its responses! Bahaha!
I just assumed they were already doing this and have never considered them to be something anyone should ever put in their home.
Did people who care about privacy actually buy Echos?..
neither of us did, no.
Anyone have experience with locally run alternatives to this kind of device? Voice recognition technology has gotten pretty good by now, it should be possible
I’ve looked into and honestly they cover most of what people use the listening device for. Only issue is that they can be a bit slow and are often quite expensive. Haven’t checked in over a year though and tech like this can advance quickly.
We’ve gotten too used to the price of tech being so low because we’re almost always the product. The Meta VR headsets, Alexa, Google Home, anything where data from us can be harvested, they’ll gladly subsidize to help get it into our homes.
I’m really hoping the HA voice stuff keeps getting better and better, we need it if we’re ever going to get people away from these data harvesting “assistants”
Who the fuck buys these things anyway
My parents, my parents church, my in-laws, my sister, my wife’s friends, my old dentist, my old doctor, and several acquaintances.
So that’s like… At least 3 people.
