I find I’m more polite to Alexa than Siri. Why? I can think of two options.

1. Her conversation is better (audio pickup and conversational output). Feature/service depth comparable to Siri though, so it’s not that.

I agree with this one. Alexa seems to actually listen. Siri is more of alternative input system for smartphone tasks.

interesting observation that "Alexa seems to listen." Can you give a detail or example of this? It is active listening?

it feels that way because the audio pickup is a lot better. With Siri I have to talk into the phone and repeat myself often.

thanks. Is it really just accuracy? Any other "social communication" behaviors on Alexa's side? Repeat, interpret, synthesize?

@Cennydd Would be very cool if Alexa sounded slightly sad when you're impolite. Or just more cheerful when you're polite.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

That would be a good solution for some of the parents out there. http://qz.com/701521/parents-are-worried-the-amazon-echo-is-conditioning-their-kids-to-be-rude/ …

people fear adding emotions to robots, that it may lead to dystopia, but it might also make us more human...

never thought about it that way, but I can imagine why.
