Ist eigentlich richtig, was ChatGPT, Bing, Bard und Co. mir ausspucken? Die Textgenerierung durch KI-Sprachmodelle ist spannend und spaßig, sollte aber kritisch betrachtet werden. Geht es euch auch so, dass ihr im digitalen Gespräch mit einer KI „Bitte“ und „Danke“ sagt, obwohl ihr es streng genommen nicht müsstet?
@bsi Ich hab mir vor Jahren beim Aufkommen von #Alexa vorgenommen, mit Maschinen stets in einem Befehlston zu sprechen, wie ich ihn Menschen gegenüber nie verwenden würde. Halte ich für sinnvoll, um sich des Unterschieds bewusst zu bleiben.
#Amazon#Alexa#IoT#BigTech#SmartHomes: "If you happen to get kicked off your smart device, you might not have any legal recourse, according to Sadowski. Given the monopolies held by a handful of businesses that dominate our homes, this may prove particularly concerning.
“The idea of locking somebody out without a proper investigation, whatever that means, is the prerogative of a private corporation,” Sadowski said. “There’s no due process here that they have to follow in the legal sense… Nobody is innocent until proven guilty in the court of Amazon.”
In fact, he said that companies likely find smart devices valuable not necessarily due to the products themselves, but for the profitable information they collect. After all, Amazon uses Alexa data to target users with ads.
So, what happens if Alexa hears someone bad-mouthing the company? Could the “court of Amazon” throw them in device jail? Thousands of Amazon employees listen to our conversations to improve Alexa’s performance, as reported by Bloomberg News in 2019. It’s easy to see how they could shut off all our devices if they hear us say something they don’t like."
Interesting piece on developing Irish Alexa via 'voice disentanglement', though some details seem off: I've seldom if ever heard anyone say 'bath' like 'bat' or 'bad', and the 'r' sound in Irish English is not 'overpronounced' – it's just pronounced, unlike in non-rhotic accents
True or not, this is why I’m getting rid of my Echo devices and moving to a self- hosted, locally-controlled voice assistant. Just need to find the time to get it done.
"Zwar habe es auch privates Glück und schöne Momente in der Diktatur gegeben. Doch habe die SED-Herrschaft „bis in den letzten Winkel des Alltags“ hineingereicht, das private Glück oft überschattet oder es den Menschen ganz genommen."
Ganz anders in der freiheitlichen BRD natürlich 😂👍

Manchmal habe ich den Eindruck wir sind nur noch so frei unsere Meinungen zu äussern weil sie als freiwillig gelieferte Daten für die Wirtschaft gesehen werden. (Gesellschafts)Politisch gesehen sind ja auch z.B. Grossdemos anscheinend kaum noch relevant für Entscheidungen. #Klima#Pflege ...
Inzwischen laufen wir ja mit Smartphones durch die Gegend und liefern freiwillig Bewegungsmuster, kaufen uns sogar Hardware selbst die alles mögliche an (privaten) Daten über uns sammelt. #Alexa#Siri ...
Ein Träumchen für autoritäre Strukturen/Netzwerke.
Amazon shut off a man’s smart home devices for a week after a delivery driver falsely accused the customer of hurling a racist slur via a doorbell intercom, the tech giant confirmed Thursday....
I had a bit of strange issue today. I upgrade the firmware of my Eero Pro 6s and then all my Phillips Hue bulbs turned on and became unresponsive with Alexa. If I tried to turn them off using the Alexa app it said server unresponsive. Any thoughts?
Hi All, I wanted to get some opinions on the setup I have with Alexa and understand how other people are doing it because Im not sure if I wanted to setup more HA automations and stuff, if my other option is a better one....
Long spiel about the thunderstorms, the temperature, gives me a tornado watch warning that I already knew about and then concludes with, I hope you're having a nice Wednesday!
🆕 blog! “Why doesn't Alexa know that homonyms aren't homophones?”
As we head unto an AI dominated future, the Turing test will probably become less like a Voight-Kampff test and more like a warzone Shibboleth. Yesterday, I asked the Alexa to set a timer. "What do you want to name your timer?" She It asked. "Bow," I replied. "Bow timer set," it said. Except… that […]
