[41]What Happens When You Ask Alexa if Amazon is a Monopoly?
[42](stltoday.com) [43]26

Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday June 18, 2023 @03:34AM from the
speak-no-evil dept.
An anonymous reader [44]shared this report from Bloomberg: Ask Amazon's
digital assistant, "Hey, Alexa, is Amazon a monopoly?" and it will
profess ignorance.
"Hmm, I don't know that one," it answers.
But ask about any of the other tech giants' business practices, and
it's ready to critique them. Surfacing answers from across the
internet, Alexa describes Apple as an "oligopoly" and cites Alphabet's
Google as violating privacy rights, according to Bloomberg News tests
of the software on three devices.... [Alexa] won't label Amazon a
monopoly, but it tends to respond in the affirmative when asked the
same question about Google, Meta's Facebook, Microsoft and Walmart.
When Alexa is asked if Amazon has broken antitrust law, it says, "I
don't have an answer to the question I just heard."
Google's Assistant and Apple's Siri, Alexa's two closest competitors,
each cite news stories on government antitrust lawsuits against their
companies. Siri, for the most part, offers up criticisms of the iPhone
maker. But it evades at least one question about Apple's power. When
asked whether Apple is a monopoly, Siri often replies, "I can't answer
that, but Apple.com should be able to...."
Alexa also cites alleged privacy lapses by its rivals, bringing up a
Facebook privacy settlement with the FTC and allegations that Apple's
finger-scanning technology violates constitutional rights. When users
ask whether Amazon violates users' privacy, Alexa sticks up for its
safeguards: "Amazon builds multiple layers of privacy protections into
your Alexa experience." It also links to an Amazon website with more
information about Alexa's privacy settings.

Alexa claims to be anything and do anything. Yet with your
comparison here maybe it's not a case that Alexa is not an
economist, but rather that Alexa *is* a politician.

As much as I agree with this, I have serious doubt about being

That, of course, would mean it wouldn't talk shit about any of the
