Right. It's not our AI. It's Google's AI. It doesn't work for us anymore than Facebook does.
There to spy and sell you shit. It's not your friend but a high tech used car dealer.
It does make me wonder how far could we push self-hosted models. Speech to text by itself is already doable faster than real-time with a 1070 using OpenAI's whisper model. Maybe in 10 years from now it will be trivial to have a self-hosted AI personal assistant? It doesn't need to do absolutely everything right or blazingly fast to be useful enough for day-to-day house and work assistance.
Mycroft is the best open source personal assistant I’m aware of at the moment
