One of my professors ended up whispering my name over zoom whenever he wanted to call on me and then avoid saying my name while talking to me so his device wouldn’t go off 😐😂
" Spouse has a colleague named #Alexa who is peeved that she has to be called her last name on calls because people get sick of having their home networks set off. 😂"

@AfterAlexa @JaniceKMandel @alexa99 #Alexas will either have to:
1. negotiate for the use of their #name
2. experience #NameErasure 🤫
3. experience #NameBombardment & #NameConfusion 🗣
It's unacceptable & needs to change.

@tara_dimaio @SylvieBorau @tbs_education @AcademicTimes Another angle: data shows using a person's #name leads to multiple unethical outcomes. Customization or a non-human name is key. @amazon needs to #RebrandAlexa.

What's your suggestion? #Alexa #UnethicalBrand #AI #tech #RebrandAlexa #NameErasure #NameBombardment #AIEthics @alexa_is_human @JeffBezos
@alexadevs While @alexadevs @alexa99 @amazon plows ahead, these stories continue to surface.
Is this company legitimately comfortable with these outcomes knowing it's only going to get worse?

"I just said fine since this particular course was only 7 weeks & we were halfway through it.
After agreeing to be called by my last name I started being called on more in class. It was definitely an unpleasant class experience." (6)

#NameErasure Are we 😎 with this trend? No big deal? Is this the mindset👥should possess?
@JeffBezos Should greater #awareness occur? 😐 How do you fix this? Should👥 be 🗣 & 🤔 more?
My name is Alexa. Yes I get amazon jokes every single day. I have family who when I go their houses they can’t say my name or the damn thing turns on. Living the life.

@AmazonHelp There are many threads🗣about issues #Alexas face. We can count on TWO🤚🏼when you've "acknowledged it."🤨
Because of the pandemic, video calls & meetings have become indispensable tools for work, school and socializing. For those named Alexa (& similar), however, it's yet *another* arena in their life where @Amazon's unethical name choice for @Alexa99 dehumanizes them. #AfterAlexa
