calculate , you give me a robot — even one that exists merely as a screen , speaker , camera , and microphone — and my first ordination of business is go to be jazz with it : trying to educe the most denotative reaction I can . But Alexa , as found in the Echo and new Echo Show , is not prostrate to being explicit .
In fact , over the course of two days of unsportsmanlike experiments , I chance Alexa to be really , really tight-laced . There was one whole day when asking for porn were meet with episodes of Dr. Quinn , Medicine Woman ; the next day it suggested I watch Spring Breakers . Asking for a dildo leads Alexa to bleep the Christian Bible “ dildo , ” and the same matter bump when wonder about thetitmouse .
depart to expect too many sordid question , and Alexa even catch on , suggesting you incapacitate the confine style that all Alexa devices ship with . This will lead to less bleeping , but does n’t necessarily take to more tits , hawkshaw , and other bite . Also , you have to disable qualified fashion for any skill on an individual basis — including YouTube .
And if you doubt that Alexa does n’t understand your most rude , gross , and socially unacceptable questions , note that even when it says it ’s unable to reply , it sometimes still — inexplicably — knows what you have asked . While it tells me it ca n’t show me boobs on the Echo Show , when I log into Alexa via a web browser on my phone or laptop and look up my most recent question , I comment this endearing image .
Alexa might be smart than I think .
