Alexa

[John Hunt]

How on earth do smart speakers work?

I asked Alexa what was the Barnet score and was astonished that I got the answer Barnet lead Hitchin 1 0 after 8 mins.

Such an irrelevant game and still the score was available.

Ask Alexa!

I've just asked her if Callum Stead is leaving Barnet and she said that after the expiry of his contract in August 2020 he left Barnet and joined Dag & Red, (so she's still got some work to do it seems).

Then I asked her again and she told me that Marvin Armstrong had just replaced Callum Stead.

Why did you ask Alexa in the first place when you didn't expect the score to be there? Why not just check Twitter in the first place?

Jimbokav's post suggests that it wasn't necessarily reliable anyway.

Just to see if it was. And it was.

It is reliable for football scores in the regular season.

A football score is fact. Jim was asking silly questions for a laugh that couldn't possibly be known.

I agree that the answer to his question was unknown but that doesn't explain why it gave information which was obviously incorrect.

Sometimes it is how things are pronounced and how the sensor picks it up.

Ah Callum Reynolds!

I think you will get better coverage this season for scores etc now we are back in the EFL.

The scores were always on point when i wanted to use the service in 24-25. I think it as remarkable as AI is scary.

Ah Callum Reynolds!

For about 20 seconds last night I had a little think about who she was mixing him up with. Reynolds never came to mind.

Whatever you do, do not say "Alexa what is 100 in Welsh?". You have been warned but can you resist? Willpower.
