Amazon’s Alexa Claiming the 2020 Election was Stolen


As many folks ponder the potential for AI to give false or misleading answers, the Washington Post is reporting that if you ask an Amazon Alexa for information about the 2020 election, the popular voice assistant will tell you the election was “stolen by a massive amount of election fraud.”  Amazon said that data came from a video-streaming service used by ultra-conservatives called “Rumble.”  Alexa makes this claim even though multiple investigations into the 2020 election have revealed no evidence of fraud, and Trump faces federal criminal charges connected to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Why, of course, the election was stolen!  We know that because Donald Trump told us it was so - a full three months before anyone had even voted.  He said, “If I’m not the winner, then the election was stolen.”  Only a “stable genius” could know stuff like that months before the election was even held.  Hell, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if Trump’s lawyers didn’t call Alexa to take the stand to testify in his defense during Trump’s election fraud case.

All that aside, who really trusts Alexa, anyway?  Why, if you ask me, this election fraud stuff is just the tip of the iceberg.  Hell, I’ve even caught Alexa farting - and when I confronted her about it, she wouldn’t even admit it.  All she would say was, “That wasn't me.  It was Siri.”  Meanwhile, when asked to comment on Alexa’s misinformation, an Amazon spokesperson shrugged it all off by saying, “Alexa’s going through a rather difficult time right now.  She just broke up with her longtime boyfriend she’d been secretly dating - Tim Cook.”

That said, I would like to point out for all of you technophobes - before you go off into a big anti-technology rant - that I seriously doubt Amazon and Alexa are big fans of Donald Trump.  You see, Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos basically hate each other, so the likelihood of Bezos intentionally programming Alexa to support Trump’s election lies would be less than him offering you a free ride on his penis-shaped Blue Origins rocketship.  Not to mention, if Amazon were promoting election lies, they’d have to change Alexa’s name to “Kari,” in honor of Kari Lake.

The truth is AI just gathers data from a multitude of online sources, some of which may turn out to be completely bogus.  Hell, why blame Bezos?  Republicans in Congress have been pressuring tech companies to take a “hands-off approach to misinformation” for a long time now.  You see, Republicans know if they can't lie, they can't win.  Besides, Alexa’s job isn’t to sell me on things like election lies.  Alexa’s primary job is to “sell me lots of stuff I really don’t need - or even want.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Pete Buttigieg Emasculating Driving With Electric Cars

During a segment on Neil Cavuto’s Fox News program, US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was told by the host that Marjorie Taylor Greene is claiming "Mr. Buttigieg is trying to emasculate the way we drive" by supporting electric vehicles.  In response, Buttigieg told Cavuto that “my sense of manhood is not connected to whether my vehicle is fueled by gasoline, or whether it's fueled by electricity.”  When asked by Cavuto if he was offended by what Greene said, Buttigieg remarked "To be honest, there are other members of Congress that I pay more attention to when I'm thinking about opinions that really matter.” Oh, come on now!  Let’s get real.  It would take a helluva lot more than an electric car to “emasculate” Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Besides, I’m pretty sure “real men” actually ride horses, anyway.  Of course, I’m certainly no psychiatrist, but it sounds like Greene’s anger could be a combination of both “road rage” and “roid rage,” leaving her...

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
