Alexa - Alexa is a human
Description: Amazon's use of a real name for their AI is causing harm to people named Alexa (and similar names) that's unethical and unjustifiable.
Amazon’s product name has changed how users interact with people named Alexa: Unlike other products out there with human names, this one requires users to vocalize commands and requests at “Alexa” repeatedly throughout the day, setting a pattern for the way they now interact with people who have that name.
Losing use of your name and having people speak to you like a machine is dehumanizing: These outcomes were completely unnecessary; the technology will work just as well when summoned by a neutral, non-name wake word.
Chaos: Alexas (and similar) are continuously triggering devices when people refer to them by name
