In a surprising revelation that has many shaking their heads in disbelief, it turns out that even our friendly neighborhood voice assistant, Alexa, is picking favorites in the political arena. Recently, when asked about the candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Alexa’s responses provided a rather eye-opening glimpse into potential bias from Big Tech. It seems that asking yellow robots about politics might just be the modern equivalent of throwing a stick into a pond and waiting for the frogs to jump!
When a curious user asked Alexa why they should vote for Donald Trump, the device firmly stated that it couldn’t provide a comment that promotes a specific political party or candidate. A noble stance, one might think! However, when the same user inquired about Kamala Harris, Alexa waxed poetic about her being a woman of color who has overcome numerous obstacles. As if this wasn’t a huge giveaway, Alexa also brought up Harris’s experience as a prosecutor and her achievements in criminal justice. Clearly, someone is putting the pedal to the metal for one candidate and applying the brakes for the other!
This incident has not gone unnoticed, especially in the conservative circles. Texas Senator Ted Cruz wasted no time in highlighting this apparent bias. He pointed out that it seems the digital narrative is being controlled by the “Deep State,” with a clear intention to sway voters. Cruz didn’t hold back, suggesting that this is part of a wider strategy by the Democratic Party aimed at crippling any conservative Republican’s chances of winning elections. Perhaps there’s a secret meeting of tech giants somewhere, plotting how to steer public opinion while laughing maniacally?
Cruz further argued that Harris’s catchy campaign phrase “unburdened” could more accurately be described as “unburdened by reality.” In his view, this phrase captures the essence of the Vice President’s campaign approach—avoiding accountability for the failures that she is part of. From her policies to the results they have yielded for American families, Cruz suggests that Harris is dancing around tough questions like a kid trying to escape a game of dodgeball.
But wait, there’s more! The Senator also offered an amusing critique of a recent interview with Harris that resembled more a campaign commercial than a genuine exchange of ideas. Gone were the tough questions that could spark debate. Instead, viewers were treated to a series of softballs, including queries like why Kamala likes puppies over kittens. It all seemed more like a love-fest than a pressing political dialogue. Cruz lamented the state of journalism today, suggesting that CNN operates like a subsidiary of the Democratic National Committee rather than an independent news outlet.
As the dust settles from this strange blend of technology and politics, one thing is clear: the conversation surrounding elections is more complex than ever. Whether it’s Alexa’s programming or an overarching agenda by Big Tech, many conservatives are left thinking that if the voice-activated robot is swayed, imagine what happens when people head to the polls. With more layers than grandma’s famous lasagna, the 2024 election cycle promises to be a whirlwind of emotion, strategies, and perhaps a few more surprising twists along the way. So, hold onto your hats—this ride is just getting started!
