Far from a Rabbinic expert but from what I've read it shouldn't be Kosher because you're still initiating the action with the intent of performing something that's otherwise forbidden to do directly, the method of operation for the assistant doesn't really factor in.

Yeah obviously an electronic shabbat goy is prohibited.

There is a discussion about whether you can use Alexa/Siri/HG on Shabbat.

Is there? Among who? I'm not aware of anyone who keeps Shabbat who uses voice activated electronics.

One of the top comments in the article currently is by jedberg, who says in another comment that he went to Hebrew school. He discusses using Alexa as a Shabbat "hack": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27012719

Fair enough, although not everyone who went to Hebrew school keeps Shabbat.

I will say, for the sake of combating misinformation about Judaism, that people who keep Shabbat traditionally, but also use voice activated technology on Shabbat are extremely rare, if they exist at all. I have never heard of someone who actually adheres to this practice despite living in a community that is on the extreme liberal end of Shabbat observant Jews[0].

[0] Which is where you would expect this to happen if it actually did.

Going to Hebrew school doesn’t make one orthodox.

I think the consensus is “no” but there is a discussion bec it’s closer to hinting at something than doing it directly.

I ask again, discussion among who?

If someone reading this keeps Shabbat traditionally and uses voice activated technology on Shabbat (or knows someone who does), please speak up. I would like to hear about your practice. Otherwise, I would prefer to avoid giving the impression that this is a position that anyone holds. There is far too much misinformation present in this thread already.

Bro, idk, I listened to a shiur where it was brought up, I’m not about to go searching through Rav Schecters musser shmuzen for you.
