  I respectfully disagree. The parent comment was insinuating this was about bots or robots, which it really isn't. Chat-like interface aside, Alexa is no more a "robot" than Gmail or the Amazon.com homepage: It's just an interface to a company's web service. And while I added a (sigh) which indicates some disapproval for the Citizens United decision, my comment wasn't meant to start a conversation of the merits of that decision, but simply indicate that this was effectively a corporate personhood case.

Don't comment just to tell someone you think their comment is low quality and uninteresting.
