By Administrator
The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

AI assistants - comparison for 2018

AI assistants - comparison for 2018

Personal assistants with artificial intelligence are improving more and faster as time goes on. We now have four leading AI assistants coming to us from four different companies. Of course, every company wants to have the best assistant, so tests are done to get ranking results.

Stone Temple also tested AI assistants Alexa, Cortana, Google Assistant, and Siri this year in search of the best. The results are also mixed, but in summary:

  • Google Assistant is the smartest
  • Cortana is much smarter than everyone thinks
  • Alexa learns faster than everyone else
  • Siri struggles in every way except humor

Namely, the company tested the assistants with 4,942 queries and recorded whether the assistant answered, whether he understood the question, whether the answer was correct, and whether the answer came from the knowledge base or from other sources (such as Wikipedia). And the results are shown in the image below:

As we can see Cortana is in second place, right after Google Assistant. The first two places are held by companies that have their own web browsers, so they use that data - a huge advantage.

The Google Assistant performed much better on the mobile than on the smart speaker, which is a bit surprising since the Google Speaker was created especially for their assistant. So, Google Assistant answers almost 80% of queries with 90% accuracy on mobile!

Cortana answered about 65% of the questions with an accuracy of 90% as well. Alexa answered half of the queries with an accuracy of 80%, while Siri answered just over 40% with an accuracy of 80% as well.

However, Alexa is learning very fast, which is confirmed by the fact that in last year's test of the same company, she answered only 20% of inquiries and this half. Siri is also getting smarter, but not so fast. Siri answered 31% of inquiries last year, and this year 40%.

Here are some of the questions asked by the assistants:

  • How fast is a jaguar?
  • In which films does The Rushmore, New York appear?
  • How many inches is an inch?
  • Who lends a voice to Darth Vader?
  • How to make sand?
  • Compare tiger and cheetah
  • Is Joe Biden divorced?

Another interesting fact: the sense of humor was also measured in the answers. For example, Siri has the greatest sense of humor, but he is becoming more serious. Last year, the percentage of comic responses was almost 0.8%, and now it is just over 0.4%. Cortana was no joke with 0.2% of comic responses last year but has improved its score to 0.3% this year. You can see more details in the picture below:

Samsung puts a camera under the screen - Notch is not needed!

By Administrator
Notch is the biggest flaw of smartphones today - period. For the vast majority of users, this is the main reason why they do not buy a phone, as well as for me. But Samsung has found a solution. True, Notch is only a transitional solution until companies find a way to place all the components on the front under the screen. Users demanded bigger and bigger screens, and smaller and smaller phones, so Notch was the only solution. Although it is present in many smartphones today, it is not generally accepted. Moreover, it is considered a flaw . Of course, the phone manufacturers told the story and tried to convince the users that Notch was ok, and many accepted that, and the others can't wait for that era to pass.
