    I think it’s a delayed development reaction to Amazon Alexa from 4 years ago. Alexa came out, voice assistants were everywhere. Someone wanted to cash in on the hype but consumer product development takes a really long time.

    So product is finally finished (mobile Alexa) and they label it AI to hype it as well as make it work without the hard work of parsing wikipedia for good answers.

        Which is why I explicitly said they used AI (LLM) instead of the harder to implement but more accurate Alexa method.

        Maybe actually read the entire post before being an ass.
