I want to clarify things. AI applications such as Alexa are not conscious. They do not deliberately choose to harm people. They are merely electronic parrot machines that find items in a knowledge base that relate to a query and then they parrot them. In this case, the idiot machine searched for challenges, found the TikTok stupidity planted by some sociopath jerk, and spewed it out.
But TikTok is a piece of shit used by morons, and Amazon's tech people are f'ing idiots.
