Is your Alexa one of those talking gadgets too?

Well, she's an inflatable...but we understand each other.

That is nuts.

I asked Siri on my iPhone if she was connected to the CIA and she answered it with a question!!!

"Who, me?"

Diabolical.


ETA: Same answer, BTW, when I ask, "Siri, do you spy for the CIA?"

a reply to: IAMTAT

She knows you "needs," right?

She does...but I still can't get her to go make me a sandwich, after she fulfills them.

Oh my. Cool find.

Thanks.

This. Is. So. Creepy.

You guys should ask Alexa or Siri about the FBI and NSA also. See what response you get if any.

At least it didn't lie and say no. Maybe it's not programmed to ever lie, so it has to be silent by default.

I asked Alexa tonight if she works for the CIA and she said "No, I am not employed by the Central Intelligence Agency. I work for Amazon".

LOL.

I think the lady just phrased the question oddly. "Are you connected with the CIA?" It just confused Alexa is all.

I read an article a few minutes ago that said Amazon 'fixed' the issue.

DailyMail.com contacted Amazon to discuss the issue, which noted that it was a glitch.

'This was a technical glitch which we have fixed,' an Amazon spokesperson told DailyMail.com

Maybe she interprets "are you connected to CIA" as "are you connected to see Eye Hay" and can't execute the command and thus fails?

Since you didn't use an emoticon I can't tell if you're joking, but if that was the case then shouldn't alexa say something like "I don't understand the question"?

www.dailymail.co.uk...

the voice assistant is designed to respond with 'Sorry, I can't find an answer to the questions I heard' – not completely shut down.

Well, instead of asking her "Alexa, do you work for the CIA?", I just asked her "Alexa, are you connected with the CIA?"

This time she said "Sorry, I'm having trouble at the moment."

Interesting! But asking if Alexa is "connected" with the CIA does give a different result from simply asking if she works for the CIA.

Is teaching a robot to lie that hard?

a reply to: Wookiep

Ask if she is spying for the CIA.

I'll have to ask later, people are watching a movie in that room now.

a reply to: dashen

Ya. Of course we totally believe her now.
