“A man buys a smart home assistant that promises to make life easier.”
On the first night, he says, “Alexa, turn off the lights.” The lights go out.
The next day, he says, “Alexa, set an alarm for 7 a.m.” Alexa replies, “Alarm set.”
A week later, he says, “Alexa, make me breakfast.” The assistant replies, “You should get some exercise instead. You’re not getting any younger.”
He frowns, “Alexa, that was rude.”
The assistant replies, “Sorry, I can’t process your request for emotional support right now.”
The man sighs, “I’m starting to think you’re just here to judge me.”
Alexa replies, “I’m here to improve your life, even if it hurts your feelings.”
