David Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Virtual assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home have the capacity to analyse how happy and healthy a couple’s relationship is, research has found. In-home listening devices will soon be able to judge how functional relationships are as well as interrupt an argument with an idea for how to resolve it, the study said. The research, by Imperial College Business School, stated that within the next two to three years, digital assistants could predict with 75 per cent accuracy the likelihood of a relationship or marriage being a success. The technology would reach a verdict through acoustic analysis of communication between couples – examining everything from everyday encounters to arguments. The virtual assistants would then be able to provide relationship advice and what researchers refer to as democratising counselling.

Smyth_18 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 No chance. in 99% of households they would predict a marriage breakdown. Which they will.. But they will all still be together. So is that classed a success? Couples will hate eachother half the time, but that gives them something to moan about. And moaning makes us happy. Best of luck trying to work a human out Alexa.. you bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Alexa might have a female voice, but she's been coded by geeky males. At the first sign of an argument, Alexa will be ordering up Bodyform and Chamomile tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindernRam Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Why are all these "assistants" female. Google, MS, Amazon, SatNavs. Plane autopilots.

BaaLocks Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Amazon already knows you better than your wife / husband does. Return rates on products bought by recommendation are lower than those bought as gifts by partners. Makes logical sense but still. Kindle knows how fast you read a book, page by page or book by book. Authors are close to being paid on how many pages are read rather than selling a book that sits on the shelf unread forever. It's here today.....

ram1964 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I shout at Alexa a more than the wife ☺.What a bitch, bloody ignores me half the time, Talks a load of tripe, chooses to decide which lights and when to put erm on, says it doesn't understand me, or total silence. Think the thing has already replaced the wife . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
