Like most AI systems, the more data Alexa has, the better it performs. To help this learning process, humans review a sample of the requests to steer the AI towards providing ever more helpful and sophisticated responses. Increasingly, AI is also being used to create or enhance content, from AI Taylor Swift giving you a pep talk to more concerning examples of misinformation. In development, ChatGPT was also trained by human users who rated its responses to steer it towards being helpful and inoffensive. AI sifts through this data for insights into your age, gender, lifestyle, disposable income and whether you’re into cooking, water skiing, makeup tutorials or sci-fi.
