Whisper turning a number into a word fucked my next water bill (blimps.xyz)

Basically, I was super tired getting home from an event last night and didn't even notice the water hadn't stopped flowing normally. It's quiet so I don't normally hear it.

Apparently at some point a couple hours in a fitting in my drip setup blew, flooding my peppers planter entirely and in the process burning through nearly 4000 liters of water before I caught it on my way out the door to work this morning.

I've since learned there's a Z2M command to start watering on a timer, but I didn't know that before and trusted Whisper to not fuck this up. My fault.

Don't think my water bill company will be amenable to it. I'll call and ask but, fuck.

I do all three every time I do something new, it's basically mandatory for me. Every time I did it correctly did numerics tested over and over via voice itself. Timers always behave and require that as well.

This was just the first time, after anxiety had faded, it had failed to transcribe in a useful fashion.

Makes me want to look into more-predictable STT systems.
