Pues parece que no solo Apple vendió humo con Siri… ahora Amazon lanza Alexa+ sin casi ninguna de las funciones estrella que prometió ¿Está la IA generativa ganando titulares pero perdiendo en resultados? #AlexaPlus #AppleIntelligence

»#Amazon unveils #NovaAct, an #AIagent that can control a #webbrowser: will also power key features of the company’s upcoming #AlexaPlus upgrade.« https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/31/amazon-unveils-nova-act-an-ai-agent-that-uses-a-web-browser/?eicker.news #tech #media

If #amazon thinks that I'm going to pay them one cent to continue using the #echo devices I've purchased, they are sadly mistaken. They will all go in the trash before that happens.

Comme Siri, Alexa+ ne tient pas encore toutes les promesses d'Amazon http://dlvr.it/TJtZc9 #AlexaPlus #Amazon

Update: Amazon stellt klar – Cloud-Pflicht bei Echo betrifft nur die USA

Amazon zwingt Echo-Nutzer zur Cloud – Lokale Sprachverarbeitung wird abgeschafft

Great, just what I needed. Apparently even Amazon now have a web crawler which collects data to do what they describe as "improve our services, such as enabling Alexa to more accurately answer questions for customers".

It also looks like they use crawled data for training LLM too. So now, any data you have on your website could be used to train the next LLM AI model too.

Wonder if it has anything to do with this #AlexaPlus thing?
