Why the hell can't we just have both? One of the biggest problems with smart speakers and voice assistants is that they're so damn stupid so often. If A.I. were to become smart enough to be what the current assistants/speakers aren't, surely that would drive device sales and engagement astronomically higher right?
That would be the goal. The tricky part is matching intents that align with some API integration to whatever psychobabble the LLM spits out.
In other words, the LLM is just predicting the next word, but how do you know when to take an action like turning on the lights, ordering a pizza, setting a timer, etc. The way that was done with Alexa needs to be adapted to fit with the way LLMs work.
