"Alexa, if I’m going to die, then what’s the point of doing anything?"
AMAZON’S smart speaker is not yet ready for life’s bigger questions, it has emerged.
Since its launch, Alexa, the ‘intelligent personal assistant’, has helped people to find out what the weather is like, to listen to instantly forgettable music and to buy lots and lots and lots of stuff.
However, consumers are now discovering the device falls short when it comes to matters of existential malaise.
Nathan Muir, from Stevenage, said: “About a week after I installed it, I asked why man can’t live in peace with his fellow man, but it quickly became clear that Alexa did not have a clue.
“A week later I was sitting at the kitchen table, looking at a flower in a vase, when I asked Alexa to define true happiness.
“After a long silence Alexa asked me if I wanted to order a smoothie maker.”
He added: “I assume Amazon is working on an existential update that will provide simple answers to immensely complex questions about the essential nature of being.
“Until then I’ll just stick to weather forecasts and ordering shoes I don’t need.”
It's as simple as Alexa says
If you buy this smoothie maker you fulfill your part to ceep the universe together
Have you herd from the butterfly effect ?
The wind turbulence produced from a butterfly in Africa moves over the Atlantic Ocean getting stronger and stronger becoming a hurricane when it arrives on the east coast
Same with your smoothie maker
If you don't buy it a Chinese worker has nothing to do
He will loose his job
These jobloss of Chinese workers will influence Chinese economy
So that Chinese politicians have to react
The reaction of the Chinese politician will spark a trade war
The trade war triggers a strong reaction from the us side
Because of the job loss what happens in the us heartland
The next step is that the Americans elect a populist as us president
This president starts to do a lot of populist ic things which leads to unrest In us
And to cover up the president will look to find an enemy on the outside to blame
He will start bombing this enemy and so on and on and on
Can you see now what you have done when you refused to listen to Alexa
Your purpose in live is to ceep the universe together
You can stop the worldwide chaos
So step up and be all you can be
Follow your destiny and become the hero you ment to be
And buy the bloody smoothie maker
Alexa nows all the answers
Nice post. As I heard butterfly effect is theory.
Thx lad
Definitely hard to proof the thing with the butterfly
It might be because the answers to those questions could be different for everyone. Think about it. Not to mention this is a programmed device most people probably dont know the answer to be able to program it in. A lot of people may not even thinkbabout that question. The nature of it seems to come from a state of depression to me. To try and answer that question for you though i would say that the point to do anything is simply because we are alive. We are consciousness. And we are alive and we have the need to express ourselves so that we can feel that we are alive. In otger words if we did nothing just because we are going to die then what is tge point in being alive anyway. Enjoy life.
This dosen't surprise me. We are all trained to do our jobs well and we know how to lie good most times. However, when it comes to existential questions and issues, you can't lie to youreself. There are many people that have no clue or interest in that subject but i am not one of them. Great share !
Thanks for reply. Followed you.
