Amazon will use real user conversations to train Alexa AI model

Amazon announced new AI capabilities for its Alexa products last week, based on a model itโ€™s calling AlexaLLM (LLM refers to the โ€œlarge language modelโ€).

Even this warning is naive.

How many "IoT" devices are linked to Alexa, Siri, etc? See that #streaming remote control on your coffee table, the one with the little hole for the microphone?

How about your car? Older models had mics just so you could hands-free call via your phone. But newer car mics have their own connections to the Internet; they don't need permission from your phone to upload audio.

Refrigerators now have mics + Internet. Its completely crazy.
