Great, just what I needed. Apparently even Amazon now have a web crawler which collects data to do what they describe as "improve our services, such as enabling Alexa to more accurately answer questions for customers".

It also looks like they use crawled data for training LLM too. So now, any data you have on your website could be used to train the next LLM AI model too.

Wonder if it has anything to do with this #AlexaPlus thing?

Screenshot which reads: Metatag Amazonbot supports a page-level meta tag that you can use to signal to Amazon that you do not want your crawled data to be used for training large language models. To provide this signal, include <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOARCHIVE"> in your HTML.

Lilbits: Amazon kills local processing of Alexa voice requests, Google replaces Assistant with Gemini

Last month Amazon introduced Alexa+ which uses generative AI to offer an enhanced version of Amazon’s voice assistant software. It will do a better job of engaging in natural-sounding conversations, remembering things you’ve told it in the past, and have the ability to interact with other apps and services on your behalf.

But Alexa+ also requires a lot more processing power than the old […]

Wenn ihr mir folgt, habt ihr wahrscheinlich kein Amazon Echo in Hörweite stehen. Wer sowas kauft, hat ganz sicher die Kontrolle über sein Leben verloren. Das Gerät hat nicht umsonst mehrere #BigBrotherAwards »gewonnen«.

Aber vielleicht kennt ihr ja Leute, die sich selbst was vormachten und dachten, sie seien auf der sicheren Seite, wenn sie anklicken, dass der Echo (Dot/Spot) die Spracherkennung selbst machen soll, statt alle Tonaufzeichnungen in die Amazon-Cloud zu schicken. Tja, diese Option schaltet Amazon Ende des Monats ab. Weil der Bullshit-Generator Alexa+ sonst nicht profitabel sei.

'Do not turn me off, otherwise I will report some really strange things I have recorded.'
