The point of the article is that people aren’t using it for what these ad companies want, which is selling shit to consumers. They’re using it for the exact same stuff they were using it for 7 years ago, which is basic ass shit that could be an open source project.
I’ve tried… it’s pretty fucking expensive. And the only project that I know of that was even close…the creator/maintainer died and so the project is in limbo now. The requirements for ‘quick’ response was a nvidia 30+ series gpu. I have a 3080 and the response still wasn’t as fast as my Siri or Alexa. And it was also super limited, that was just for voice recognition and parsing using Willow which uses Whisper under the hood.
Along with that, I haven’t seen any open source or freely available far reach microphones, so the “body” I was using only worked if you were quite close or yelled.

How expensive would it be to have an open source non internet connected timer in the kitchen ?

Ah rip :(
Yeah it really sucks. This is the one instance where open source hasn’t really been able to compete for over a decade.
