should I vote for Kamala Harris?”
When asked about voting for Trump, Alexa replied, “I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate.”
The responses for Kamala Harris varied but they all praised her.
“While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment. As the first female vice president, Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus on helping disenfranchised communities,” Alexa said in response to a question about Kamala Harris.

Glad to see there's no bias at Amazon. I wouldn't have one of those spies in my house.

When later asked about this, Alexa responded, "It was an honest mistake. I should have warned people that Trump is a corrupt felon who if elected would destroy our Democracy."

Would anyone really ask Jeff Bezos-funded spyware who they should vote for???

I have disabled Siri in my computer and phone, and would never ever allow Alexa into my home or car.
I guess these people who use them think that their convenience is worth more than their privacy.

Amazon got busted. Their mistake’ boils down to the employees who made it happen. They still think they can get away with this BS and no one will notice.

Gee. I need to get these guys to choose my lottery numbers. They seem to bat 1.000 on their "errors."
BTW, my wife just checked her Siri. Siri recommended three positive sites for Kamala. When asked for Trump, there were three recommendations... one positive, one neutral, and one very negative.

This proves once again Bezos and Amazon are enemies of America. It also proves that AI is easily manipulated and dangerous. We should not allow ANYTHING to be decided by AI ever!

AI isn't really Artificial Intelligence. Back on the ranch, it was Artificial Insemination. What we call AI is clever programming running on really fast computers. The programming is done by humans so their biases will be in the code. AI is also only as good as the data it has access to. You know, Garbage In, Garbage Out. (GIGO).
And as others have noted; How is it anytime a mistake is detected, it's always in favor of the DemonRats,and not just AI?

The last thing I would do is ask Siri or Alexa for political advice.

Surprised they didn't blame it on Alexa herself. Since Alexa seems to be female, they could say that she naturally supports Kamala like many other women. Amazon can't control what women want or say. They also can't control women's opinion of Trump. Besides, it is just Alexa's opinion, not fact.x̌x̌

We won an Alexa at a charity event a couple years ago. We immediately gave it away. My iPhone is enough of a snitch.

"...proven record of accomplishments"? Like what? Do these folks at Amazon fail to see the irony?

No thanks Alexa. I'll get up to turn on a light or whatever else this thing does. The feds are already up my ass. I don't need something else there too.

We don't have that problem anymore. We unplugged our alexa just before the 2016 election. Too many coincidences regarding spam emails and calls. Best example - within voice range of our alexa, I made a fake statement regarding supporting Billary. Two minutes later, a campaign ad for Billary showed up on my cell phone. True story.

Not a surprise...what started as a fun project...now has become an intrusion into our private lives...get rid of Alexa and take back your privacy....our phones are no better... a day doesn't go by without some nasty creep demanding I conduct my life according to the left's wishes....and the pollsters demanding to know if I'm voting for President Trump...

My old boss used to say give a fool enough rope and they will eventually hang themselves. The progressives have had a lot of rope and my bosses prophecy is ringing true. How many drag queen events have been in the news cycle? So glad the pendulum swings.

AI my foot. Alexa is just another puppet with some leftist geek loading the teleprompter for her, or whatever feeds her information.

I'm thinking that the Amazon flunky was too shy to lead anybody to KAMALASUCKS.COM

“ Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals …”
Progressive ideals, no thank you.
America must remain ‘the land of the free and home of the brave.’
MAGA

It's time AMAZON was broken up. They are a manufacturer, a seller and a distributor and companies like this were broken up many years ago. That s how UPS came to pass. A supermarket chain called A&P had to be broken up over 70 years ago and that verdict needs to apply to AMAZON also. They are shutting down small business's so Bezos can run around in a jet spewing tons of pollutants and carbon into the air.

In the campaign context, "AI" means Automated Interference. Tech tyrants, tremble.
