I still can't get over how bad Alexa is, how it barely even works to do the simplest tasks, gets so confused so easily, etc. They have spent so much money. They have so many developers. They have so much compute available. The technology to make it way better is just lying around and open source now, and has been for the past 1.5 years at least. If I were put in charge of Alexa, I really think I would lay everyone off and start with a tiny group of really good devs and move as fast as possible to get something approaching the voice version of ChatGPT with all the integrations working. It's just mind boggling how poorly managed the whole thing has been, and I think it's a real indictment of top management for letting it get so bad after so much effort and money.
