Title: How can I use Echo as a prop for a seniors presentation on AI, now and future?
Post by: TT814 on October 20, 2017, 06:01:27 pm

Any suggestions on things to say to Alexa that will get a response relative to the field of AI, or will be a good demonstration of Alexa's AI capability?  I'd like to use Echo as a prop to begin a presentation to senior citizens on the potential future benefits/dangers from superintelligent machines.
Thanks.

Alexa is hardly super intelligent. Most of its answers on my question is - Sorry, I don't know..  :-\ So I always resort to google.

my only suggestion would be to go through the features and see which ones you can do for the presentations.  also go through the skills and see what they can do that can help with the presentations.

asianrocker, did you get a GH or using your phone's Google Assistant?

I don't see the need for GH. I use Google Assistant. But lately I prefer to just type it. I know, too Neanderthal.

To the OP if you really want to impress I suggest you bring a lamp with a bulb that is Alexa ready. Or any home automation you can demo.
