Alexa, what’s 10 to the power of 308?

There’s something very Zen about watching Alexa work through this number, occasionally changing pronunciation and strategy to get through it.

And, as a palette cleanser, be sure to ask Siri the same question.

  1. In the future, our robot overlords will justify our subjugation by our abuse of nascent AI. For giggles, they will send us down to beaches to count grains of sand.

  2. And may I say “thank you” for sharing the answer so I didn’t have to do it myself 😉

  3. Siri: “The answer is a 309-digit number beginning with 1 0 0 0.”

    Have to give Apple some credit here:

    1. The answer is correct.
    2. The answer does not repeat zero 308 times.
    3. The answer is not just restating the question.
  4. It’s a particular pet peeve of mine, but “o” is NOT A NUMBER. Zero is “0”, but as soon as she switches to saying “o” (oh), I’m done with her!
