Plump and skinny: How big is the gap between smart speakers and artificial intelligence?

Recently, after the release of Apple HomePod, domestic smart speaker products have mushroomed, and the word “Artificial Intelligence” (ie, AI) appears at the same time as smart speakers. Artificial intelligence is not something that has only recently emerged, but it was used commercially before. At this stage, consumer-level artificial intelligence often appears in the form of smart speakers. From Amazon Echo in 2014 to Google Home in 2016, some foreign technology giants have already brought smart speakers from concept to life.

At present, domestic enterprises that make smart speakers are from start-up companies and technology giants. However, whether it is the experience of themselves or colleagues, or other media evaluations, the current stage of smart speakers needs to be improved in basic voice interaction and functional applications. . The ideal of artificial intelligence is plump, but the reality of smart speakers is bone. How big is the difference between the two, let's take a look.

Ideally, smart speakers can understand your words and be able to respond quickly.

The reality is that although the current Chinese speech input and recognition technology is continuously improving, not all questions can be understood and answered when you communicate with smart speakers. Especially when you ask questions with complicated long sentences, the current smart speakers have You may not answer the question, users need to understand the understanding of the smart speaker with appropriate questioning methods to let it understand what you mean. And compared with the more mature foreign smart speakers can use more fluent English replies, most current smart speakers in the Chinese reply will obviously feel just read, not smooth and without emotion.

Ideally, whether it is a voice assistant on a mobile phone or multiple smart speakers, as long as the same account ID is bound, their information is interoperable. For example, in the future, when I use the Siri note on the iPhone in the afternoon to remind the football match at 11pm, the HomePod with the same Apple ID in the living room will remind me to watch the game. Or when the iPhone in the room has missed an incoming call, the HomePod in the living room will also alert you of the incoming call and ask if it should be answered directly through the HomePod. - Yes, all this is just my good hope for HomePod.


The reality is that even if it is bound to the same ID, but different devices are temporarily independent, such as your memo reminder on the phone, and will not be synchronized to the same brand with the same account ID smart speaker, unless you re Make a note on the smart speaker once. Even if you have two smart speakers with the same ID in the same room in the living room and the room, besides sharing shopping information, some memos and reminders cannot be shared simultaneously. In the final analysis, these reminder reminders are only stored. In the device, there is no synchronous sharing between different devices, and multiple terminal devices work independently.

Ideally, apart from helping me check the weather for memorization, artificial intelligence should also be a smart housekeeper in my home.

The reality is that at present, most smart speakers are only an independent existence, that is, they cannot or can only interact with a few smart home appliances and can only interact with you through the mouth. Millet also released its own smart speaker products some time ago. In the official promotional video, the smart speaker can switch home smart products according to the user's voice instructions, such as smart light bulbs, sweeping robots, smart TVs, and even rice cookers (of course, rice still Users add and wash clean).


Millet's smart speakers are the products that I currently see the most ground, even let me have the impulse to want to buy, but if you do not have many of Xiaomi's smart ecological chain products (we call Xiaomi family bucket), this smart speaker and Other brands are similar, but they can only talk about it. Then look at the hand only millet bracelet, to dispel the idea of ​​buying. So, in the end, I decided to try to persuade (you) that (Yao) who spent 89 yuan to buy millet smart light bulbs to buy a millet smart speakers to experience.

Ideally, smart speakers should be created to increase the enjoyment and efficiency of people's lives.

The reality is that at this stage, smart speakers are more of a role as brand manufacturers' marketing gimmicks and user portals. For example, smart speaker products made by e-commerce platform must be outstanding shopping functions. And currently, there are different suppliers for different content and services in the country. For example, there are Jingdong and Ali for shopping, and BAT has its own resources for all three hands. If you want to create a smart speaker that supports shopping and music playback, Then only one of the suppliers can be selected for shopping and music in front of the computer. It is difficult to achieve full access support. Basically, it is exclusive cooperation.


When consumers choose a smart speaker product, besides being influenced by factors such as brand and function, they will also be restricted by the content and service provider's differences. For example, when I usually shop on the A-commerce platform, I will give priority to Smart speaker products that support A-commerce platform shopping.


At present, many domestic smart speaker products are released first, and then open platforms allow more features and services to adapt to join. Finally, how many manufacturers are willing to join is not yet known. Consumers may eventually be too advanced for the manufacturers. The idea to pay the bill. It is common to publish the market first to seize the market, and then to optimize the ideas of products and services. In contrast, Apple HomePod released its products in June, and it was only officially launched at the end of the year. In the middle half of the year, it was adapted to developers by R&D. When the consumer finally takes the product, both the function and the service have a higher degree of completion.

Smart TV/box information can focus on smart TV information network sofa butler (http://), China's influential TV box and smart TV website, providing information, communication, TV boxes, smart TVs, smart TV software, etc. Answering questions.
