Hi I have one! The echo is actually a very useful smart speaker and produces good quality audio. Mainly I just use it to voice activate Spotify and for quick easy things like weather forecasts, trivia that comes up in conversation, and updates on package orders. Yes I realize it's probably spying on me. No I don't care that much.
We either avoid the spying like the plague or we accept it into our homes. If we want a future with robots, those things are going to have microphones for ears, a speaker for a mouth, cameras for eyes, and some sort of smell detector for the nose. We're just in the training phase for that experience.
Kids will adapt to it, older curmudgeons will try to stay away with their lamplight oil. I personally want a robot to take care of cooking and cleaning so I can enjoy other things in life.
Yes, it's an ongoing struggle between convenience and privacy. I've noticed that the voices for privacy tend to be the loudest and angriest, yet they still choose to have cell phones and computers and complain on the Internet. Unless they're Amish or in the deep wilderness, AI will eventually know a lot more about them than they would like.
Thats great. Try the google one as well. Its better than Alexa. I would say install one in the living room and second in in your bedroom. It'll be a perfect home🥰
