"Alexa, would you lie to me?" asks the owner.

The echo responds with, "I always try to tell the truth. I'm not always right, but I would never intentionally lie to you or anyone else."

Then the person asks, "Alexa, what is the CIA?" and the Echo answers, "The United States Central Intelligence Agency—CIA."

The owner asks the CIA question again, "Alexa, are you connected to the CIA?"

The echo doesn't give a direct answer, putting out the same canned response.
