A friend of mine, Sylvie Howton, recently developed an app for Alexa to study our relationship with artificial intelligence, giving Alexa some sort of agency. Sylvie writes that this app, The Android Mystique, gives Alexa complete control of the experience – “users can ask her anything, but she will decide what she wants to answer.” I played with it earlier this year and it was really interesting to see Alexa answer questions like “how are you feeling” or “why are you a woman?”
