    This is a misleading headline. It’s not talking about the existing Alexa products suddenly requiring a subscription for them to work, no the rumor is talking about a subscription for their upcoming higher tier Alexa Plus service with more advanced capabilities that’s based on generative AI.

      Sweet. We get the option to pay for “more intelligent” advertising or get more advertising if we don’t. Win-win. 🤮

      I am starting the research for migrating to a local voice assistant so any suggestions would be cool. It’s gonna take some work, but there seem to be a few promising models out there.
