“Alexa, did the Mavs win?” That’s usually what I hear from my son’s room when he wakes up in the morning. Usually followed by “Alexa, what’s the weather?” or “Alexa, what time is it?”; the former for
when he wakes up early, the latter when he knows he’s going to be late for school. On more days than not, his first interaction is with an AI voice assistant before a human being. While slightly
offended, I understand it. After all, Alexa has more answers than I do.
