Alexa could already tell your children bedtime stories: an update to the voice assistant with generative artificial intelligence capabilities similar to ChatGPT will allow them to adapt to their toys.
Thanks to its large language model (LLM), the tool from the e-commerce giant Amazon will be able to invent fictions from scratch based on the study of similar examples.
And this is how the story of “Mittens, the first cat to walk on the Moon” could be born, if an 8-year-old user asks him, for example, a story about a cat and the Moon, according to what was reported by an internal document. consulted by Business Insider.
More impressive, if the child has fun with an interactive Olaf toy – the reindeer in the cartoon. The queen of the snow -, the Amazon Echo Show, a device that uses Alexa with a camera, will be able to recognize the toy and interact with the Disney character during the story.
Backup for future conversations
Still according to the same source, Alexa can also ask parents or children to intervene in the story or display illustrations on the Echo Show screen, which could lead to partnerships with actors like Disney or even Lego.
“Alexa generates a news, 5-minute story with context provided and set by default using her LLM, and saves story context for future conversations,” the document further clarifies, without specifying exactly how Alexa will handle it.
As this feature rolls out, Amazon plans to slightly change the age limit for asking “Alexa, tell me a bedtime story.”
