    This should come as no surprise to anyone who is awaken.

    This effort to keep a candidate out of office is unprecedented. They turned television, movies, schools, beverages, and now even Alexa against Trump.

    If toilet paper could talk, P&G would have it saying something bad about Trump.

    As it is, TP only reminds us about Biden's cognitive decline.

    Of course there are no comments, I made it today and it's unlisted, lol. It was made to show people that you can easily make Alexa reply in whatever method you want. The only valid test is one you do yourself.

    Wow, someone really f'ed up at Amazon then, lol. I doubt it was an "error", probably a left leaning engineer having a prank heh. That said, my point still stands; you can't take that stuff at face value. I could make her say whatever I want. But yea, in this case I was wrong and just assumed it was someone pulling the routine trick. Live and learn!

    I like what you said about "The only valid test is one you do yourself."

    I have said the same thing to people lots of times just in different words.

    I agree 100%!

    If you believe that comments = confirmation, you are going to wind up
    believing a whole lot of things that are not real.

    I was at a relative's on Friday. I should have tested this on their alexa device. They only plug it in when they want info or music, so it is something I never think about them having.

    I do not believe that comments = confirmation in general.

    There were comments of different persons that tested it.
    And a comment that Amazon corrected the error.
    Those comments confirmed it.

    There were also comments that claimed, without argument, that it was fake.
