And won't even talk to each other

Artificial intelligence can go so far, but, so far, AI isn't showing much intelligence and has a sexist core.

Life can get quite stressful when you have voices in your head that appear to be saying mutually contradictory things.

It's quite a while since I reviewed Google's Home Assistant and a couple of months ago I decided to buy a little Amazon Echo Dot.

I changed the voice on the Home Assistant because the English lady was quite “received pronunciation” and so Ms Google now speaks to me in a still slightly tinny Australian accent. Ms Alexa has rather an attractive bass voice, a bit like Fenella Fielding's. I know you don't know who Fenella was, but she had a rather attractive bass voice, a bit like Alexa's.

Buying the Echo Dot doesn't help if you have a cat called Alexa because it responds to commands when you use the word Alexa. My cat doesn't seem to understand what “Alexa, what's the weather like?” means and looks up at me with a quizzical expression as if to say: “Mad Mike's really gone mad.” By the way, I don't have a cat called Alexa, which is just as well.
