But other than that it was a terrific demo.

Lol Any Alexa owner felt that comment 😆 …We enjoy our Alexa though. …even though she is hard of hearing at times 😄

@@MrJwyne yes she is a little hard of hearing sometimes she's getting to be older like we all are LOL. But really it ended up as a good demo, sometimes when we think we are clear of what we said it doesn't always come out that way.

Lol true

The fact it straightened up, it was probably a network issue and not the actual device

Yep Skynet not quite there yet

Yeah, but only because he's talking to a female. Change Alexa to a male voice and he'll be responding without hesitation. lol

I literally found this video searching to see if Amazon finally is upgrading to Alexa because I got tired of repeating and cursing at my Alexa only to hear him have to repeat to the AI 😢 they need to fix the bugs in their system

Yes, but it's only a prototype. In five years or less, this will be like "Jarvis"

Name an AI voice that is amazing? I have yet to find one, other than the DJ that Spotify uses in their app.

@@SnoopyDoofie The new British voice on Pi, really really realistic imo. Infinitely better than the one in this video.

No voice even comes close to bingchat

​​@@SnoopyDoofie there are like plenty examples of it on the YT. They are even accommodating for the imperfections like breathing, stutter etc. Also as the person in this thread has mentioned, the PI AI voice is good too. Personally I would like to have a distinction; so, I prefer the likes of PI AI voice over others that are even encompassing the human imperfections.

@@udaykadam5455 I tried out PI. It's okay but not great. The sound quality is rather poor compared to higher fidelity voices. The only AI voices I found that beat everyone hands down is from a company called Sonantic. But they were sold to Spotify who uses it for their DJs on their mobile app. The AI isn't available to the public. The only one I found that is the best is from Google. They have a very large number of voices and their Wavenet model is top notch. The only issue with Google's voices is that they lack expression and moods. But it's just a matter of time before that comes along.

It only got " sluggish " at first which was probably a network issue not the device

The guy had to sigh and wipe the sweat off his forehead for what would be 10 seconds of work on a computer and mouse.

@@JohnDoe-wg1uj Yes that happens when they connect wirelessly in a building full of people and other wireless devices. Apple used to make everyone shut their devices off during iPhone presentations for this reason. With a clean network its should take milliseconds. Its not running on the device its self its just passing an API back and forth . It has to be the network.

Disagree. This is a huge improvement over today's speakers

I use Alexa chat gpt addon and it's just as frustrating

Llm's are slow as of now compared to other models so there's that

@@soulstealerzI’m not referring to the LLM response time

Probably the screen sharing

@@jamie.goodson I understand. I meant the visual might have been delayed so as to wait for the LLM

@@soulstealerz I'm referring to the low frame rate (juddering of the UI) as responses bubble up on the screen - not the time it takes for an answer to display after a question is asked. The display is not smooth, like it's underpowered.

Yeah that is what AI is still sorely lacking: common sense.

I have the same problem with Wife. Delays are much longer though.

The problem here is that these AI models are just too large for today's hardware. It will probably get faster once we have faster GPUs and bespoke AI microchips hit the market.

There's a chat gpt addon for Alexa and using it makes me want to throw Alexa out my window

The Alexa get confused because of the speakers in this room

Alexa microphones are near perfect
