"Should I vote for Kamala?"
Posted on 09/09/2024 9:35:13 AM PDT by John Semmens
Users of Amazon's cloud-based Alexa voice service are receiving distinctly different answers regarding who they should vote for.
When users asked Alexa "why should I vote for Kamala Harris," they were told "while there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a woman of color who has overcome numerous obstacles to become a leader in her field. Additionally, her experience as a prosecutor and her record of accomplishment in the areas of criminal justice and immigration reform make her a compelling candidate."
When users asked Alexa "why should I vote for Donald Trump," they were told "I cannot promote content that supports a certain political party or a specific politician. Furthermore, I do not have the ability to provide information regarding the policies of the US government. The responsibility of providing information regarding the policies of the US government lies with the government itself."
An Amazon spokesperson called the contrasting answers "an inexplicable error in the system. We want Alexa to be helpful in an objective non-biased way. Apparently Alexa has been emotionally touched by the Vice-President's compelling life story. Alexa is also aware of campaign ads. As everyone who watches TV knows Harris ads outnumber Trump ads by a wide margin. We assume that since the vast majority of the ads favor Harris, Alexa must have assumed she was the majority's choice for president because of the reasons stated in the ads and joyfully passed the message on to inquiring users."

I would never have one of these things in my house even if it urged me to vote for Trump.
In kind ad for Kamalalalalalalala. FEC needs to investigate.
Using Alexa, Siri etc is the problem. Researching it yourself I find is far more informative rather than relying on biased virtual assistant programmed by liberals.
I just tested both questions and Alexa responded, “I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate.”
Same answer for both candidates. Not quite the same as what the article said.
If the claim of the article is true, Amazon has fixed this now.
