Yandex Users Report Critical Failures in Alisa, Their AI Assistant
The Yandex user community is facing significant problems with the operation of Alisa, the Russian company's artificial intelligence assistant. The service is experiencing technical difficulties in processing basic queries and has suspended control over home automation devices, causing discomfort among those who integrate this technology into their daily lives. 🤖
Instability in Responses and Connectivity
Numerous reports confirm that Alisa experiences excessive delays in its responses or remains completely inactive during user interactions. When it does respond, the erratic responses lack coherence and context, indicating deep failures in the natural language processing systems that underpin the virtual assistant.
Problems documented by users:- Prolonged waiting times without receiving a response from the assistant
- Responses completely disconnected from the context of the questions
- Inability to process voice commands that it previously executed without issues
It's ironic that an assistant promoted as revolutionary can't perform such simple tasks as turning on a light while we talk about smart homes of the future
Massive Failure in Home Automation Control
Integration with smart devices represents one of the most affected functionalities, where Alisa has stopped executing control commands to manage lighting, climate control, and connected appliances. This situation forces users to resort to manual alternatives that contradict the very essence of home automation.
Devices affected by the interruption:- Voice-controlled lighting systems
- Smart thermostats and climate controllers
- Connected appliances on the home automation network
Impact on User Experience
Collective frustration is evident in ironic comments about the need to return to physical switches as in the pre-digital era, highlighting the technological dependence created around these virtual assistants. The situation underscores the vulnerability of smart systems when they fail in their most basic functions, questioning the reliability of voice-command-based home automation. 💡
