Btw, why is there no speech recognition yet, using LLM to recognize words and meaning better?

And can't google it really; flooded with results for Alexa and Siri and co., which is the reverse.

I work adjacent to a group that does speech recognition. There's a massive amount of variation in regional dialects and that's before you get to non-native speakers. The you have people like my mother in law who doesn't have an accent, but her diction and grammar are... unique.

If someone is speaking in sentences you can use context clues to infer intent, but it's a lot more challenging when you're just getting spoken commands.

I suspect it's a training/sample gap, but it's likely going to be really hard to get to 100%.

I was going to say, I went through a drive through, had the clearest exchange ever when placing my order, and it was only after pulling away and hearing the same voice at the same time that it was an LLM.

I'd personally take that over trying playing telephone on shitty mics and speakers any day. "Sorry, could you repeat that?" Etc etc.

Not a good argument. Applying a specific technology in a specific setting does not invalidate its use or power in other application settings. It also doesn't tell how good or bad an entire branch of technology is.

It's like saying "fuck tools", because someone tried to loosen a screw with a hammer.

Pull up to McDonald's, order a Big Mac, fries and orange juice. Pay and take the bag at the window. Open the bag at the park, it's cancer medicine! Some little kid in the hospital is eating your fries! Stupid AI, second time this week!

Edit: I'm willing to take my downvotes, but I need to know, is it because I made a joke about little kids being denied cancer medicine by stupid AI? Or is it because I like orange juice?

Or worse, its a burger. Who’s eating my cancer medicine?!??

WTF they MUST KNOW which ones have shitty microphones F*** they have never asked, "Was it painful to shout your order at someone who is either trying or not" and the screen that shows you what the human they paid as little as allowed by law has transcribed, is broken half the time
