Alexa tells 10-year-old girl to touch live plug with penny

[ShoulderRoll]

Amazon has updated its Alexa voice assistant after it "challenged" a 10-year-old girl to touch a coin to the prongs of a half-inserted plug.

The suggestion came after the girl asked Alexa for a "challenge to do".

"Plug in a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs," the smart speaker said.

Wtf??? Was it the Alexa from the New South Park movies? Lol

[Larry the boss]

But the sad thing is, that is is an actual challenge

maybe the alexa just had it with her and asking for ****** challenges and wanted to end it once and for all

People who use those deserve to be electrocuted.

What are they actually good for?

They listen to you, pretend they care and say what you want to hear

They're like a man on a date, except they don't want to **** you

Oh I see.

Guess that is more than turning a living space into a Star Trek larping zone.
