Wait a minute. So she thinks that smart home systems have
understanding of what they're doing, but LLMs don't? I wonder how
many Siris and Alexas are the voice interface for smart home
systems? A lot, I expect.<br>
<br>
If she's right (which she's not, seems to be the consensus here),
then all that needs to be done is link up a LLM to some smart home
hardware, and 'ta-daaaa', instant understanding!<br>
<br>
I don't buy it.<br>
