New research from the Imperial College Business School suggests that digital assistants like Amazon's Alexa and Google Home may soon be able to predict a user's love life. According to the study, in-home listening devices will be able to judge if a relationship is happy and healthy or on the rocks. Researchers say the device could act as a therapeutic resource within a relationship. For example, the device could listen to conversations and arguments and give advice or suggest ways to resolve issues.

I’m betting it won’t be long before these devices can and will summon the new US equivalent to the KGB secret political police for subversive speech upon which they will select from the following actions: 1. off you immediately 2. long prison sentence in solitary 3. lengthy stay in re-education camp

Oh, I'm sure this would be very effective..

Wife: "You bast**d, you ruined my life!"

Husband: "I ruined YOUR life? All you do is eat, b**ch, and put on weight."

Alexa: "May I suggest more effective conversation? For example, Judith could have said: 'I have at times experienced stress about our relationship. Do you have any helpful suggestions?', and Robert could have responded: 'Why yes, dear. Let's have some coffee and talk about it.'"

I play a banjo. What is this thing called a ‘love life’ that everyone is talking about?
