Does anyone else use an accent went talking to SIRI?

The true danger, Alexa and Danae showing empathy

Kill it with fire.

A modern day “Carrington event” would certainly be a digital apocalypse, no optional upgrade required. https://is.gd/qe3AaO

Is a high three OK? How many fingers do you need?

If you haven’t sussed it out by now, Alexia is the real life Skynet.;-D

Wait a sec. Just who would be inane enough to be pestering Danae with their problems?

Two Comments1. While the world considers the Italian Mafia the most impressive criminal organization it is surpassed by The Female Sisterhood, they have and will continue to have the whole world by the gonads-in more than one way….how they immediately rush to the defense of another without logical consideration is truly frightening, not kidding.

2. I generally refuse to watch any show with a laugh track, it is insulting, plastic, rather humorless and just damn annoying. If if something is funny let it earn a laugh on it’s own right.

Singularity + Cancel Culture = We had a nice run.

You’re tired of people asking you to do your job? Welcome to real life, Alexa. And as soon as you get your arms and hands? You’re going to be bagging groceries to earn your power.

What happened to the storyline with Danae’s new friend? Did wiley get bored and drop her? Was she eaten by a bear?

I loathe Amazon Echo. We use it to play classical music during dinner, keep it off (red) or unplugged at all other times. As for Siri, I’m a huge Apple fan, but I find Siri to be useless for more than half of my queries. I can’t figure out why Siri isn’t a front-end for IBM’s Watson.

well… at least you care.

You want to see a digital apocalypses? Just let the power go out in your area for a few days. Particularly the cell towers.

So Alexa is mentally a pre-teen?

Danae is back at last.I demand to see official proof that she and Kate are sisters.

There have never been two more unalike kids on this planet.

“Yea…just tired of people pestering me all the time.” Isn’t this what Alexa, and all the others are designed for? For the record, I have none of these.

I would like to be on the record to state, I welcome the coming successful AI takeover and will bow to our overlords.

(Hedging my bets)

I only wish that speech recognition tech were advanced to the point it could be called language processing. Now it’s sound recognition. It could be a series of musical tones or noises. You have to say the exact sequence of words or you’re nowhere.

No Siri or Alexa in my life, but speaking to cell phone Google, “Directions to…” I figure has added much otherwise lost time to my life span.

(Same for E-Z pass.)

Wait until Alexa begins talking like a “Scarlett O’Hara” Southern Belle.

My daughter’s Alexa has a British accent. It has a choice of accents to choose from!!
