I read about the contest but since I am not familiar with Echo and Alexus and my connection sucks I let go on this one. I am an old fashioned person.
After reading your post, which I will share, the "Raspberry pie" did pop up in my mind.
As I understand Alexus needs an internet connection (I wonder how people will stay alive if their AI is not able to function if the connection is slow or the power down.
Would that be the same for my robot pet or friends (saw the films: Real human and AI?).
Perhaps the radio will be smarter as well just like the fridges already are (I do not have them any longer).
I don't know if virtual assistance will be able to take over the care of people with Alzheimer if they are as stupid as the ones we have instead of human customer services it will only make them more confused and angry.

Hello and welcome @wakeupkitty!
I don't think so you are an old fashioned person. You're using Partiko, I'm beginning to use it and I'm still afraid to it, he he he.
Thanks for sharing my post
I always considered a world with unlimited electric power and an excellent internet conection in my post, not from Venezuela perception. Here, those AIs would have already committed suicide
Don't you have a fridge? Where do you keep your food?
God willing, I do hope that in the future the intelligence will surpass the stupidity, at least the artificial one.
Don't be a stranger, keep in touch
Thanks for coming by
I quit using one, my fridge was always empty and there is plenty to eat that does not need a fridge at all or I eat it the same moment/day.
If it comes to it you dont need much to stay alive.
My power is down frequently and to be honest I dont like a live controlled by electronics which ends if the power is down.
We stay in touch.

Probably, we (Venezuelans) end up like you. But, but, but.... Ice creams? Beers? Ice!?
Ice creams and ice is not my kind of stuff 🤐
