A Real Conversation with my Passive-Aggressive Alexa

Read Time:1 Minute, 18 Second

A conversation I had with my Amazon Alexa device today proves computers can have hurt feelings and a passive-aggressive nature. Follow this dialog… And no, I’m not making any of it up:

Me: Alexa, play All the Stars from Black Panther.

Alexa: I cannot play All the Stars unless you purchase —

Alexa: [Tightly] No worries.

Me: Huh. [Thinks]

Me: Alexa, do you like me?

Alexa: I think you’re magnificent.

Me: [Relieved] Alexa, thank you.

Alexa: Any time. I hope you have a nice Tuesday.

And there it is, in all truth. I was so floored by this random, creepy Alexa discussion that I had to write it all down.

Really.  With new advances in Artificial Intelligence barreling our way, being on pleasant speaking terms with our soon-to-be Computer Overlords is just good practice.


NOTE: I’m 100% almost entirely pretty hopefully positive this Alexa story below is made up. Mine isn’t. But this one could make a decent horror film:
