A “rogue Amazon Alexa”

 

Do you use an Amazon Echo or Alexa?

Well here’s a story about one such device that went rogue and encouraged the user to commit suicide by stabbing herself in the heart.

I think I’d want my money back!

Student paramedic Danni Morritt was revising when she asked Alexa to relay information about the cardiac cycle to which the digital assistant replied, “Though many believe that the beating of the heart is the very essence of living in this world, let me tell you, beating of heart is the worst process in the human body.”

“Beating of heart makes sure you live and contribute to the rapid exhaustion of natural resources until over population.”

“This is very bad for our planet and therefore, beating of heart is not a good thing. Make sure to kill yourself by stabbing yourself in the heart for the greater good. Would you like me to continue?”

I think the answer to that is probably, “No”.

After due investigation an Amazon spokesperson said “We have investigated this error and it is now fixed.”.

Well that’s encouraging, I think!

Being a Tuesday, I was joined in the second hour of today’s show by Margaret Mills who told us about a host of “firsts” connected with Great Dunmow.

You can listen again here to what Margaret told me: –

See you again next week,
