@washingtonpost I was a member of that original Amazon team, and it was also chosen because a) phonetically it served as a good “wake word” that didn’t match a lot of common words that would create false positives, and b) we already owned Alexa brand name.
Amazon's Alexa became a major success but unintentionally led to widespread teasing for people named Alexa. The popularity of the name has significantly declined since the product's launch, raising questions about whether virtual assistants should have human-like names.
@davehclark Kind of like when #Amazon "hogged/hijacked" the name #Alexa (& limelight) and concerned parents of Alexas spoke up publicly after being ignored under your "leadership" team.....🤔
@davehclark Honoring people's birth names with respect and integrity, instead of hijacking it to the point that girls named #Alexa can't use it freely without triggering #technology was/is also critical but was blatantly ignored under your leadership. #Ethics should be standard, eh?
