A small digression. Alexa isn't an AI, it's a voice synthesiser that turns what you say into text, and picks one command that is most close to it. It's simple heuristics.

I’m no fan of Amazon or corporate bullshit in general, but in the strictest sense of what a monopoly is, Amazon doesn’t have one. They do still have competition. They do not have exclusive control over the online retail market. They ha e the largest share, but not all of it.

If you ask any AI the same question, it will provide the same answer.

Instead, ask it whether Amazon is anti-competitive or not and see if there’s a bias. Because they are most certainly that.

Why would anyone in their right mind trust anything or anyone they aren’t familiar with?

While I do hate Amazon, this example is not the reason to “distrust” AI. This corporate subversion is really easily detected and therefore easily avoided. The real concerns with AI, in my opinion, are where it interfaces with the physical world.

Or where it confidently spews misinformation
