Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 27, 2023

We know that Alexa is not going to mow the lawn. Then who else?

Alexa, please hit yourself with a BIG hammer and throw yourself in the trash…

Rain was predicted yesterday along with continuing record breaking heat and heat index. In taking the mower to the shed, I noticed a small area that needed mowing. Two hours later the entire place was mowed and it was delightful weather perfect for mowing. Rain did’t happen, by the way.

I have both now, Google and Alexa??? Anyways I asked Google to play Pink Floyd a few days ago and it said “ask me later” I told it FU and it replied “I have feelings”, I repeated it!

See? THIS is why I won’t talk to Alexa or Siri.

Looks like Alexa may well be able to take the dog for a walk while whistling Dixie.

A.I. my eye.

The forecast suggests I’m not going to mow the lawn today – it’s going to rain

Just FYI, it is illegal to mow your lawn (or make any other noise) on Sundays here in Switzerland. Almost all shops are closed by law. They take their Sunday rest seriously.

This comic is spot on today!

You really really really don’t want to know.

If we can have artificial intelligence, why is stupidity always so real?

Alexa is in a box, in a closet, way in the back, buried, out of sight.

Curiously, his excuses and mine are the same, but I am self-programmed to avoid work in hot, humid weather. Another reason I wouldn’t ever need Alexa or is relatives in my life.

I intentionally chose to buy a condo specifically to not have to do yard work.

He seems to have a love/hate relationship with Alexa.

I wonder how smart my Alexa really is.

I don’t think you want to wait until bad weather to mow.

Alexa is just trying to help you procrastinate and become more lazy. Makes it easier for our robot overlords to take over, less resistance

Just found out that my baby nephew has a special nickname for Alexa: Ya-ya.

A.I. isn’t going to “take over”. We’re just going to give up.

And here we thought Amazon WANTED people to care about the climate.

The calm before the storm.

He did a slow “think”.

Not a human, not to be mistaken for a human, not to be treated as a human. Mow the d___n lawn.

I don’t care. She has my back and I love her, and that is that!

I don’t need Alexa to recommend I let my lawn go…I never was a water/mow/water/mow/water/mow/and repeat type of guy. My lawn grows when it rains, and that’s it. (no HOA for me!)

Every so often and this is one of them, brilliant and the art is still great…

Or you could look at your phone, turn on the TV or pick up the paper

Bilan—Thank heaven for immigrants

This flavor of A.I. sounds like Asimov’s ‘Multivac’; humans are regarded as pets and should be treated kindly.
