Brilliant ad by Amazon for Alexa+ 😂
The whole punchline? The exact question everyone whispers after watching one AI video at 2am:
“Is this thing going to take my job, ruin my life, or quietly plot world domination while ordering paper towels?”
Chris Hemsworth playing the “slightly terrified human living with a suspiciously competent assistant” is painfully accurate. That’s basically all of us. Confident in public. Mildly unsettled in private.
What’s actually genius is Amazon isn’t pretending we’re not thinking it. They’re not saying, “No no, nothing to worry about.”
They’re basically saying, “Yeah, we know you think Alexa might be one software update away from becoming Skynet. Relax. Watch this.”
Old Alexa was basically a fancy voice remote.
“Set a timer.”
“Play music.”
“Turn off the lights.”
A very polite butler with three skills.
Now Alexa+ is being positioned like the home operating system. Context-aware. Proactive. Connected to everything.
Translation: we’re slowly beta-testing a budget version of Jarvis in our kitchens… and honestly? We’re kind of into it. 🤖
