Amazon plans to charge for Alexa in June–unless internal conflict delays revamp
arstechnica.comSomewhat misleading headline. They plan to release a paid version of Alexa AKA Alexa Plus using generative AI, but testing didn't go well and they are trying to rebuild it using LLM tech from the bottom up.
Thanks to all those scientists from Alexa Entertainment, who have successfully broken all iterations of Alexa. 3 for 3! Great job!
I think that’s how they kill prime video and Alexa. Ask people to pay when nobody does kill it
It's kind of crap that Alexa is asking for money for functionality it should have provided from day one (being able to interpret requests with >90% accuracy)
