A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you ask Alexa, Amazon’s voice assistant AI system, whether Amazon is a monopoly, it responds by saying it doesn’t know. It doesn’t take much to make it lambaste the other tech giants, but it’s silent about its own corporate parent’s misdeeds.

I'm no fan of Amazon or corporate bullshit in general, but in the strictest sense of what a monopoly is, Amazon doesn't have one. They do still have competition. They do not have exclusive control over the online retail market. They ha e the largest share, but not all of it.

If you ask any AI the same question, it will provide the same answer.

Instead, ask it whether Amazon is anti-competitive or not and see if there's a bias. Because they are most certainly that.
