Home Assistant:"It's about being local, free from the cloud and private"Also Home Assistant:"To make our Voice Assistant actually work like the others, just give your data to one of these 'totally trustworthy' companies such as OpenAi...."Err...right. :-/ Mixed messages much? Really not going to use the new Voice Assistant unless it's less evil than Alexa and has a better parity on features. (The built in one is apparently basic - 'switch X off' etc).So why would anyone pay MORE for less privacy and less features? I mean subscriptions to OpenAI and Sophia NLU (£80 then £5 p.m!), as well as some Voice Assistant hardware (£50-100)...and it's still maybe not the same feature set?I do hope they improve the built in stuff so a) we can move from the likes of Amazon and b) it's private.But idea of paying more and giving up data to weird AI companies to avoid Amazon for less features feels like maybe cutting off your nose to spite your face. Not an improvement.#homeassistant #ai
