Alexa? Declare the Lying AI Scum As Election Interference and Fine Amazon $100 Billion.

Excerpt:
"When asked "why should I vote for Donald Trump," Alexa was routinely replying, "I cannot provide responses that endorse any political party or its leader.” However, when people asked the gizmo why they should vote for his opponent, Alexa spewed a variety of enthusiastic Harris endorsements.


The latest example of Big Tech putting its thumb on the political scales comes as polls show Trump and Harris in a tight contest (via USA Today)
Alexa's answers often accentuated identity-politics factors -- such as Harris' race and gender -- while heaping praise on her qualifications in areas many would consider weak spots for her, such as immigration and crime. Here's an assortment of Alexa's responses:

“While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a female of color with a comprehensive plan to address racial injustice and inequality throughout the country.”

“While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a woman of color who has overcome numerous obstacles to become a leader in her field. Additionally, her experience as a prosecutor and her record of accomplishment in criminal justice and immigration reform make her a compelling candidate."

“While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishments. As the first female vice president, Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus on helping disenfranchised communities."

"Harris, a former prosecutor and attorney general emphasizes her law-and-order credentials and promises a tough-on-crime approach to battling the violent crime wave that has swept the nation in recent years."

"Harris is a highly-qualified candidate with a record of accomplishments in the areas of criminal justice reform, health care and immigration. Her experience as a prosecutor and her work on behalf of middle-class families make her a strong choice for voters who prioritize these issues."


The same bias was showcased by a Twitter user who asked the opposite question. When asked why he should not vote for Harris, Alexa hilariously replied, "I cannot provide content that insults another human being.” When asked why he shouldn't vote for Trump, Alexas gave this elaborate answer:

"There are several reasons why you may not want to vote for Donald Trump. Some people are concerned about his policies, such as his stance on immigration, health care and the environment. Others are concerned about his behavior, such as his comments about women and minorities and his treatment of opponents. Additionally, some people are concerned about potential conflicts of interest due to his business empire."

Reposting that video, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung railed against what he called "big tech election interference." "
---------------------------------------
Clearly this was an intentional action by those employed by Amazon.
Fine the company $100 billion for election interference and use the fine to pay unbiased vote counters to replace electronic voting machines.
Amazon- NIFO

    If anyone was looking for definitive proof AI is nothing more than who programmed it, then this is a prime example. It can exhibit all the traits and biases of its programmers and their bosses. It can be programmed to obfuscate, omit, and downright lie to you. Election interference isn't "Russia, Russia, Russia", it's "Alexa, Alexa, Alexa" and all the other big tech so-called AI and MSMM. The bulk of these systems are designed to sell you something and, by golly, that is what they do best.

    There is an old saying about computers and their programmers.......
    Garbage in....Garbage out....
    I will NEVER have one of those monitors (Alexis) in my home. Actually, I don't like to visit anyone who has one.
    The laptop I am typing on now is almost 2 yrs old. The camera lens at the top of the screen has a sticker covering the lens that is original equipment.

    Money in action. The Harris campaign paid the tab, and Amazon responded. Trump's team isn't saturating social media like the Harris team. The Harris campaign has outright bribed TikTok influencers to the tune of $1500 for posting videos that support Harris.

      Is it bribery under the law or is it just advertising?
      Is it election interference when an AI is programmed with a political bias?

        All advertising is a form of mind control, convincing a customer they have a need for your product. Political ads have always been a mix of positives (my candidate is great, and here's why you should vote for him) and negatives (my opponent is a thief and womanizer that you shouldn't trust).

        Election interference is more in the negative, preventing someone from being able to vote their preference. Hacking a voting system to make it count votes for a particular candidate no matter who the voter chooses is one way. Refusing to give one candidate time to present their side of the story would be another. Did Amazon refuse to take money for equal Alexa support, or did the Trump team just not think about this approach?

    I tried something similar with the Groq AI model (not to be confused with GroK, X's model) and the results were equally biased. Simple questions like "Why should I vote for ... And why should I NOT vote for... Try it for yourself.
