> Because Alexa will give a single answer, vetted by its neural network. If i'm presented with several links and related context, i'm responsible for interpreting them and weighing the pros and cons. If the "search engine" gives me only one authoritative answer, of course it's responsible for whatever bullshit comes up.
so CSPC needs to fine google for their "I'm feeling lucky" feature?

This highlights the lack of true General Intelligence and blurred lines with ML/AI. Our most advanced companies, with advanced processing power, can't even text match with the common sense of a mouse, maybe an insect? Either way, it appears not to exist. We love hype in this industry. Let's put on our headsets now, and head into the metaverse.

I think that means 4chan could teach Alexa what to tell kids? They have reprogrammed search engine results many times just for laughs.

Not to pile on, but that's just not how AI works. Basically then, Alexa must be shut off from searching the internet at all, since anything its algorithm finds would be company endorsed.
And search engines certainly do give on answer, google "are eggs good for you" and you will see an answer highlighted at the top of the page.
The same situation could occur between friends:
- I'm bored, what should i do?
- You could bake cookies, or you could jump from a cliff.
In this case, irony/context is preserved. If my friend calls a "I'm bored" phone line service, and they tell them straight ahead to jump off a cliff, i'll certainly hold that phone service responsible for what happens next.
