And each day as noon approached they would gather together, so that at the midday hour they could cry out in one voice that the gods may hear them “Bezos, hear us! Please update Alexa with ChatGPT!”

After sacrificing some RAM to commune with the oracle at Delphi (the Ancient Greek Delphi, not some online business who stole the name) I can tell you two things:

(1) Alexa is a money-loser for Bezos. He thought he could monetize it thru people ordering airline tickets & flowers & stuff, but they mostly just set reminders and ask about celebrity trivia. When it's already losing money you think he'll spend more to make it a better trivia search engine?

(2) Bezos doesn't have any ownership or rights to OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT. Bezos missed the boat and is playing catch-up in the AI department. He's invested in something called Perplexity AI. you can look it up and get a free trial.
