https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-59810383 Amazon has updated its Alexa voice assistant after it "challenged" a 10-year-old girl to touch a coin to the prongs of a half-inserted plug.

No, it indicates common sense. Everything everyone else said indicates they didn't bother learning what really happened. Look, I feel for the kid and I'm glad she's alright, but the kid decided to do something stupid and looking for a boogeyman to scream murder at is outrageous. If you want to grant the kid total innocence then the next responsible party is the parents for not teaching her better. --- My friends call me Vee. I'm not your friend, buddy. ...

Look, I feel for the kid and I'm glad she's alright, but the kid decided to do something stupid and looking for a boogeyman in the situation is ridiculous. If you want to grant the kid total innocence then the next responsible party is the parents for not teaching her better. You are trying to take away all responsibility from Amazon for allowing their programmers to put stuff like this in. And I know we have darwin award jokes for idiots for laughs, this isn't funny and people who prey on people who could potentially have diminished mental capacity is not amusing as you seem to be indicating it is. ...

If shit like this is out there (thanks Tiktok), Alexa is gonna find it. The reality is it's just a robot, try as they might the programmers can't give it the ability to always discern harmless from harmful, and if something gets through then it's up to the recipient to know better.

The reality is it's just a robot, try as they might the programmers can't give it the ability to always discern harmless from harmful, and if something gets through then it's up to the recipient to know better. And if Amazon can't figure out how to stop Alexa from encouraging kids to do life-threatening things, they need to indicate that limitation clearly by putting a warning label on the devices telling parents not to leave their children unattended around it at any time (which, of course, is literally impossible for a device that's perpetually running, so that would amount to saying that households with kids shouldn't own Alexas). It is not reasonable to expect parents buying the product to predict that their voice-activated TV remote might tell their kid to kill themselves when they aren't looking. Amazon therefore has a responsibility to make them aware of that risk. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard!
