Hasn't technology throughout the ages always reshaped notions of what people consider valuable and not valuable, with some people choosing to hold onto prior notions and others newer ones (possibly because they benefited more from such)?

To me the biggest issue is the relative one way economic (let us set aside the intangibles, because one cant feed themselves on such) proposition of these devices (upfront cost of "paying" [more like renting since its default locked in to a provider] for the device, and the free "work" people provide with their queries). Reminds me of the proposition of the collect your dna as a service companies.

I guess the incentives of everyone running an instance of sphinx, and sharing models/feedback error corrections continuously with each other in the background with the ubiquity of torrenting now and decreasing reliance on the Amazons in the middle isn't here yet.
