ChatGPT Hijacks Your Old Echo Dot

🔥 What happened LibreEcho turns a decade-old Amazon Echo Dot into a ChatGPT speaker via Home Assistant. The open-source project fully replaces Amazon's original voice control. 💡 Why it matters A used Echo Dot costs under $20; a new AI speaker runs $200+. The catch: long response times and dropped conversations still block the fluid dialogue you get on a smartphone. ⚡ Our take Great hacker hack, but latency remains the killer. If you want real naturalness, wait for OpenAI's own speaker — or live with the awkward pause.
