Alexa stops herself

[jwlv]

Yesterday when I was testing some things and I said, "Alexa, who are you?"

Alexa replied, "I am Alexa and I..." 

Apparently when she said "Alexa" she heard the word "Alexa" and stopped herself and waited for the next command.

I haven't been able repeat this anomaly since then.

Is it really a she lol

Scooter, where have you been; are you new here?  Alexa is a woman's voice so naturally IT is referred to as she, but it is an "IT"; neither male or female.

I have a question for you:  Why are ships referred to as "she"?  Same reason as Alexa is. Because they are. LOL

[Scooter]

Good point pal. Never thought of that.

Because this thread isn't already weird enough.

HUH??  Was Her a weird movie?  (Oh, now I get it: Her, She, It, Alexa, Roger, etc.) I totally passed on that movie.  Last week's movie about Miles Davis was quite strange.  If some Millennium generation person had seen it, they would not understand it at all unless they knew about Miles Davis' life.  But, to me it made perfect sense, and I kind of liked it.  A total collage of his screwy life.

(Have we confused Scooter enough already?)  Scooter: How is Kermit doing these days?

You should try to get her in one of those Captain Kirk Induced Loops where she'll destroy herself

But isn't it all mostly relatively conditional depending on which gender specific perspective that the speaker is coming from?

Just because "it has" a female voice, that doesn't necessarily mean that in todays "modern" sophisticated cultural world that the "it" is a "female" that should be referenced by the word "she"...

It very well could be something totally and completely contradictory than perceived....

These days, no one can even definitively say to any degree of certainty, something as simple as "which restroom that it should use" as being of any defining certainty.

In Ship building, referencing "She" to ships was based on respect of the vessel and the work that the "male" crew had to engage in to keep "her" fit, proper and seaworthy. The ship would require as much maintenance and preparation as a damsel preparing for an evening out on the town...

I turned both of mine over.  They're definitely female.

Way to go Parker; keep the conversation weird!

That is not logical.
