I won’t say one way or another whether Amazon will charge for its services. But I did see this article talking about something I also received by email. That is, Amazon will now discontinue Alexa Guard and charge for emergency services.
But I don’t know if anything will be able to have conversations with us, seeing how Chat GPT apparently get things wrong and has started to get dumber. This is coming from technology expert Kim Komando, this isn’t me saying this about chat gpt.
With that said, I have tried Be My Eyes AI, and I used it for a very specific reason. It recognized that it was the same person and it gave me enough to get what I wanted.
I also saw a doctor about my concerns too, so I just didn’t rely on this alone.
No price is given on Alexa generative AI, and the person mentioned in the article will be leaving Amazon at the end of the year to take another position.
Other executives from the September 20th presentation pretty much said the same thing.
From Ars Technica, the article is titled Amazon wants to charge a subscription fee for Alexa eventually.
I guess we’ll have to see what happens, and whether this eventually comes true. It’ll be interesting to see how this space works out. I guess Siri can already do this with this latest update to 17 if I’m not mistaken, so we’ll see how Amazon will work in the future.
