Me: Alexa, “I keep thinking I’m a pair of curtains” Alexa:.... Alexadiagnosis

Hello - your tweet is slightly misleading. This service will not provide any form of diagnosis. This is just an alternative mechanism for accessing medically-certified information from the NHS website. Full info 👉 Top facts 👇

chrismcquarrie perhaps the future is as proximate as tomorrow. I love you MI family, have a safe and beautiful week.

Not only do they sell the UK to the US neoliberals, they now sell you health to Amazon. This is MAXIMUM alert.

Great. GP's ans nurses are gradually being replaced by a US mega-corporation. Next up... 'Amazon granted access to health records'.

'ease the burden' how many people even own an alexa? they're out of some people's price range. why not put that money towards improving the NHS this is so stupid lmao

Even the headline is based on a ridiculously non-critical premise... 'help ease burden on NHS'.... Because Amazon behave responsibly in every other space they operate in don't they. It should be 'Alexa to diagnose patients symptoms to monetise personal medical data'

😂😂😂 it’s so true. Credit:TechnicallyRon

I’m not so sure that’s a good idea...

How about AmazonUK just paid the millions in tax it gets away with dodging? That would ease the fucking burden!!

se essa alexa for 'sociopata' igual o twitter e facebook, nois tamo tudo fudido

Gonnorhea, diarrhea...what’s the diff.

Alexa can't even play the correct song I ask for half the time. I don't think I will be trusting her with my medical symptoms!

may float, u missed the meds
