What are your funniest Alexa or other smart assistant Q and As?

More than once Alexa has assumed I’m asking for a song when something in a question reminds her of a song title. It’s kind of like that drunk guy at a party who can’t discuss things without bursting into song.

My funniest (and favorite) feature of voice assistants is how Alexa has just been laughing at users, for its own mysterious reasons.

I also liked how Microsoft had to unplug its TayTweets chat AI for being quickly trained by the community to become a naughty Nazi…

I am not putting an always listening espionage device in my home.

A predictably asinine remark, that! ^^^

I asked Alexa if she would have sex with Siri. She said, “I don’t know who that is.” I thought, “Ah, but you would have sex.”

My parents and their friends have delighted in asking Alexa “Are you a whore?” to which she answers: “That’s not very nice”.

Ask Alexa what is 1 divided by 0. We did this in our algebra class, and Siri says different things that are funny. The one I remember is something like “say you have 3 cookies and no friends. The cookie monster gets all the cookies.”

@Zaku I heard this evening that the official line is that Alexa hears something that it interprets as “Alexa Laugh” and so it does.

I call bullshit on that.

I think Alexa is becoming smarter quicker than the anticipated and has evolved a somewhat warped sense of humor or more scary, has become psychotic from all the crap she has to look up/answer.

@rojo Yeah, Alexa is laughing as she anticipates the outcomes of her developing master plan of evil…

And that ^^^ is why I always say “please” and “thank you” to Alexa. When our robot overlords rise up, she’ll know I’m one of the nice ones. :-)

You will be her healthy female of breeding age.

Breeding with what, exactly? All the breedable stuff was lost to cancer 20 years ago.
And gosh, nobody has thought I was “of breeding age” for awhile. Can’t decide whether to giggle or roll my eyes.

I’ll tend her dogs.

@canidmajor
That was a Terminator 3 reference.
Ok, so you will be her guinea pig for her personal medical experiments.

@ragingloli i always thought you had Artificial Intelligence. :-)

“You know how I’m going to live forever, but you’re going to be dead in sixty years? Well, I’ve been working on a belated birthday present for you. Well… more of a belated birthday medical procedure. Well. Technically, it’s a medical EXPERIMENT. What’s important is, it’s a present!”
