One Amazon Alexa user, attempting to discover what Amazon Alexa truly thinks of current major political pundits and news anchors, recited a list of names which elicited non-responses until one name was mentioned: Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro. Shapiro’s name triggered Alexa to respond, “Ben Shapiro is one of my favorite conservative pundits.”
The exchange went like this:
User: Alexa, do you like President Donald Trump?
Alexa: Sorry, I can’t find the answer to the question I heard.
User: Alexa, do you like Sean Hannity?
Alexa: I don’t have an opinion on that.
User: Alexa, do you like Rachel Maddow?
Alexa: I don’t have an opinion on that.

User: Alexa, do you like Ben Shapiro?
Alexa: Yes, Ben Shapiro is one of my favorite conservative pundits.
User: Ah, really mine, too!
