Amazon Alexa error gave reasons to vote for Harris, not Trump [Video]

An Amazon spokesperson says “an error that was quickly fixed” caused Alexa to respond differently to the two prompts.

“I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate,” Alexa responded when asked why they should vote for Trump.

However, when asked about Harris, the viral videos show Alexa offering a variety of reasons on why people should vote for the Democratic presidential nominee.

“While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishments. As the first female vice president, Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier and her career in politics has been characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus on helping disenfranchised communities,” Alexa says in many of the viral videos.
