Amazon Alexa spouted conspiracy theory when asked about chemtrails
mashable ^ | By Brian Koerber

Ask Alexa about chemtrails, and she'll tell you it's a government conspiracy. Seriously.

"Chemtrails: Trails left by aircraft are actually chemical or biological agents deliberately sprayed at high altitudes for a purpose undisclosed to the general public in clandestine programs directed by government officials," my Amazon Echo responds when asked "What's a chemtrail."

Your AI gives you the definition of this, or any other term, it is working for you.

Your AI gives somebody's judgment on this, or any other term, it is not working for you.

(Yes, I know that "chemtrails" are bunk.)

Alexa’s definition of chemtrails is actually correct.

Whether chemtrails actually exist is another matter. There was a fairly active bunch of Freepers who believed in them before 2001, but they had more serious concerns later that year.

I always thought it was a bunk conspiracy theory as well.

Do we really know very much about Chem-Trails?
There is history of the Govt. dispensing drugs among the unwitting population. The CIA has such a history.

That link looks a lot like a parody / hoax site.
It would be pretty cool if AI gave us the truth on occasion.
I do not share your opinion that “chemtrails” are all “conspiracy theory” BTW.
I know us peons aren’t supposed to believe anything the PC elite label as CT, but on occasion I do anyway just to be obstinate.
It’s amazing that I haven’t been hunted down and whacked... yet.
If anyone took me the least bit seriously I’d probably be in a shallow unmarked grave in a remote undisclosed location long ago... and few, other than my dog perhaps, would miss me.

B.S. every knows that they are dumping nanobots.

It’s just pulling crap off of Google. And since people who don’t believe in that silly stuff don’t call them chemtrails that pretty much preselects the results.

That’s not what my Echo Dot said. Condensation.

Try explaining the ignorance of this conspiracy to them.

Its impossible. THOSE ARE CHEMTRAILS! THOSE ARE CHEMTRAILS! Thats all you get from them.

I tried to explain that if they were trying to spray to effect this particular area, they are failing. Then I tried to explain that if they are at or over a certain altitude, that stuff would end up thousands of miles away before it came down.
Didnt help. These people are incapable of any normal thought at all.

I work with a guy who believes in: Chemtrails, Flat earth, Paul McCartney is a fake, time travel exists, Space travel is impossible, the moon landing was fake, etc....

Really nice guy but its murder travelling with him. We’ll be at airports or shuttles and he is constantly spouting off about this crap. Its embarrassing.

Plenty of turbine airliners. Lots of places to go. The right atmospheric conditions. Contrails.

Siri says it’s a conspiracy theory - she and Alexa don’t get along, I guess.

They spray our area almost everyday. I have actually watched one of the aircraft turn the spray off then on again. These planes run a criss cross pattern at low altitude. The trails linger and spread out into fat lines unlike a jet contrail which is small and dissipates in a short time.

For any freepers who think its just the contrail from military or commercial jets what is your explanation for the days when there are no contrails? No planes flying that day?

A few months ago an ATT work crew were repairing a pole in front of our house. Mr. GG2 was standing there chatting with them when one of the guys looked up and said “well they are really spraying the chit out us today”.

Earlier today I was walking the dog and looked up to see multiple planes spraying everywhere. There is no way to mistake it for anything else.

I think some days the atmosphere has high humidity, and the change in temperature in jet contrails causes them to condense.

I think other days the atmosphere has low humidity. The change in temperatures in jet contrails on those days, does not generate as much condensation.

Pretty simple.

Here’s something else that’s simple. Jets don’t fly low altitude criss cross maneuvers with each other over urban areas. Sometimes they are flying low enough that you can see its not a jet. I have watched a plane flying low enough that I could see it was a tanker with 4 spray nozzles. I watched the spray turn off for a minute then turn back on.

My personal opinion is that they have screwed around with this stuff so long now that if they don’t spray it doesn’t rain. Remember when you were a kid? Sometimes it didn’t rain for 10 days or more. Now if you watch WeatherBug you get 2-3 sunny days then a rainy day then several sunny days and then a couple of rainy days. Last June that HAARP program was shut down. So for about a month there was no spraying. It hardly rained. Then all of a sudden they started it back up again. They are spraying aluminum, barium, copper sulfate, potassium iodide and strontium. It creates cloud cover.

This chemtrail stuff is the most egregious case of hiding in plain sight I have ever seen.

I gave up trying to explain the same to my sister. Now I just mock her when she brings it up.
