Put it on a smart plug and make it turn itself off whenever you want - like in the middle of it running an ad
in reply to Mike Elgan

Jassy seems to miss the point of Alexa, it is there to listen to your conversations and let Amazon know what ads to feed you. Making it obnoxious will defeat that.

Why would you want to take a forklift to the gym to lift the weights for you? The objective isn't to lift the weights, it's to train your own muscles. Why would you dash across a road without looking both ways first? Faster and more efficient...but you're also more likely to be run over.

This is a post about #AI.

in reply to The Sleight Doctor 🃏🍉

Using AI to write is like using a forklift at the gym.

Unless your job is lifting weights.

In which case: yeah man, bring the forklift.

Not everyone came to planet Earth to get jacked the hard way.
