Prior to embarking on my digital honeymoon, I scoured the internet for fun facts about Alexa. One of the most frequent instructions she received from Britons in 2023 was: “Insult me”. Which sounds perverted, masochistic and wrong, but by midweek curiosity got the better of me, and I asked her exactly that. “You don’t need to worry about the zombie apocalypse,” the automaton replied. “They only want people with brains.” Which, coming from a non-sentient device, feels a bit harsh. Maybe she doesn’t do kink.
