Alexa Tells 10-Year-Old Girl to Touch Live Plug with Penny

December 29th, 2021

Fortunately, the girl didn’t do it. Unfortunately, her mother is an idiot for bringing that device into the home.

Via: BBC:

Amazon has updated its Alexa voice assistant after it “challenged” a 10-year-old girl to touch a coin to the prongs of a half-inserted plug.

The suggestion came after the girl asked Alexa for a “challenge to do”.

“Plug in a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs,” the smart speaker said.

Amazon said it fixed the error as soon as the company became aware of it.
