- A new leak suggests that Alexas AI is for Innacurat to start yet
- It still appears on February 26, but will only be released later
- The leak follows the reports Alexa were delayed from 2024 due to similar problems
It is all guaranteed that Amazon launches a new version of Alexa with the soup AI brainpower on February 26 – it literally spelled it out in a message – but disaster could have beaten the final obstacle. Alexa AI is reportedly delayed again.
It is per. Anonymous source, who spoke with the Washington Post (the report is behind a Paywall) and claimed that the new Alexa has made too many errors when asked test questions. As a result, Alexa is delayed to improve its accuracy – with the current launch date that is now set back to March 31.
Amazon is still expected to reveal the brand new Alexa at the New York event on February 26, when it originally planned, but we expect access to AI (and the questions it will answer in Demos) may be limited for not To do not reveal its potentially less than perfect side.
As with all rumors of information, we should still take all this with a pinch of salt, although if the Washington Post is correct, this would not be the first time Alexa is delayed. Several sources had teased a launch date from 2024, with accuracy issues that were again quoted as the reason why Alexa was held back.
In addition to causing a delay, these problems could also prove a blow to Amazon’s rumored plan to charge users for Alexa’s help. It has been said that the renewed Alexa could cost paying customers $ 5- $ 10 a month to spend (about £ 5- £ 10 / AU $ 8-AU $ 16). If Alexa is unreliable or has a reputation for being unreliable beyond what is expected of a current genes Ai-Kan We imagine that there are not many users who are eager to pay for the service.
At least the current version of Alexa is said to stay around as a permanent free and generally reliable option.
If Amazon can solve Alexa’s accuracy problems, the new AI sounds pretty useful. Alexa AI is said to be smarter so it can handle multiple prompts at once, rather than requiring its user to give different commands one after the other, and to perform as an AI agent – read: taking actions without direct User requests.
The last point sounds a little daunting, given that Alexa AI would have our credit card info and direct access to the world’s largest online store (Amazon), especially if Alexa is prone to mistakes (I know I would be nervous about using that). But if Amazon can prove that its agent is really helpful, Alexa can finally start living up to the futuristic home assistant, as many imagined it would be when it was first launched.
