Upvote if you have a new friend named Alexa
Downvote if you don't.

I am obsessed with my Echo.

Coolest thing I own I think. She called me an uber, re-ordered something from Amazon, answered a bunch of questions, played music, woke me up this morning with a news briefing and the weather, ordered us pizza, etc.

Thing is AWESOME.

Used it for less than an hour
Want to throw it away
Bitch doesn't have an answer for anything
All it ever says, "I can't find the answer to that one"

So who knows less, Alexa or Siri?

Id be interested to hear the answers to the same question if you had both side by side.

No clue
I never had Siri

Alexa is now in my wife's bathroom... where I don't have to hear her
The final straw was last night
Me: "Alexa, can you talk dirty to me?"
Alexa: "That is not a conversation I can comment on"
Me (to my wife): "That's 2 women in the house that won't talk dirty to me. Take that shite outta here"

ALEXA, WHAT'S THE MASS OF THE SUN IN GRAMS?

One of my favorites

My father in law is a brilliant mechanical engineer (NASA retired) and he was quizzing it for a couple of hours and was nailing some hard questions.

Also, certain things require activating a "skill" on the app like "bartender".

It seemed to me that almost every person I asked IRL said they got an echo, dot or the tap thing for Christmas. The 32 downvotes must be a lie.

BTW I love my echo. I set up so I can ask it what are my sports updates and it will give me news on LSU FB and BB, Saints and Pels. Also I spent about twenty minutes asking it to tell me a joke. Most of them were corny dad jokes.

WHy in the Frick did this thread, about a Christmas present, get anchored but a thread about interviewing some dude, that is always wrong about everything, didn't get anchored?

Because my mom has one and every time I go over to her house she asks it 100 questions it doesn't have the answer to. I'm like mom, please just leave Alexa alone.
