Imaginary Friend Problem [1]

From the Guardian

“Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant has caused an uproar among conservatives after viral videos showed the device giving supportive answers about voting for Kamala Harris, while refusing to respond to similar questions about Donald Trump.

‘When asked why someone should vote for Harris, videos showed the device listing positive qualities of the Democratic nominee. Asked the same question about Trump, Alexa gave a stock answer that it could not promote or give answers about specific political candidates.”

Amazon says it’s a software problem and they have fixed it. The Magasphere’s heads are exploding because of the actions of an uppity imaginary “servant”. Are they confessing that they get their political advice from a robot?
