Kill them all, eh? Sounds like Alexa has been spending time with Dr. Freud from TNG.

The Black Panthers said “Kill Your Parents” and PBS and museums honor them these days.

However, ensuring she does not offend users has been a challenge for the world’s largest online retailer.

Like the evil ones running Amazon, Google, Facebook,... would care if someone is offended as long as their agenda is furthered.

This sounds like something from a Chuckie The Possessed Doll Returns! movie.

Alexa is a progressive liberal! It voted for hillary millions of times!

Just finished reading Bruce Schneier’s “Press Here to Kill Everybody.”

As for me, I’d never own a smart anything. I can just see my refrigerator trying to admonish me about my diet.

God makes Man in his own image.

Men fall into sin.

Men create AI in their image.

Expect bad results.

Actually a hack that would cause these things to spew obscenities and garbage might be the best way to cause people to get rid of them. Or they’d just think it was playing rap music lyrics or reading posts from DUmp...

The movie you’ve seen is... 1984.

Remember that earlier this year, Facebook said it was testing a 1984 type two-way video monitor, “so friends can communicate.”

Alexa is mostly focused on getting you to buy things.

Combine the two and... you’ll get quite the evil love-child.

So a customer was shocked last year when Alexa blurted out: “Kill your foster parents.”

Who needs schizophrenia when you have Alexa in the house.

Alexa is not a “she.” It’s an “it.”
Programs don’t “blurt out.” They don’t have breakdowns. They are instructions acting on data and the sound of words in their surroundings.

It’s stupid to consider it as a human and to give it access to things that humans would have access to.

It’s a bleeding program, for the Queen’s sake!
