MOSCOW, April 10 Updated voice assistant from Yandex “Alice” removed from her answer about the heroine of the cartoon “Masha and the Bear” all value judgments, including the word “shit-butt”, and left only a dry certificate, the correspondent was convinced.
Earlier on Wednesday, Yandex launched a new version of its voice assistant, based on the Yandex GPT 3 neural network, it simply explains complex things and makes things up less. 
«»Masha from the cartoon «Masha and “The Bear” lives alone, because that’s what the creators of the cartoon came up with, they wanted to show the story of the friendship of a little girl and a bear, so they decided not to include Masha’s parents in the plot,” “Alice” now says in response to the question of why Masha lives alone.
Last week, the Commissioner for Children's Rights in St. Petersburg, Anna Mityanina, expressed concern about the uncontrolled influence of information technology on children, citing as an example the answer of the «Alice» column to a question about the popular cartoon «Masha and the Bear.» In particular, to the child’s question about why Masha lives alone, the column at that time answered that she is “just the ghost of a murdered girl,” which only animals can see, and Masha is torturing the bear because he took her life. A day later, “Alice” changed the answer and gave the following: “This is the forgetfulness of the ancestors’ machines, they did not notice the absence of their big-bottomed daughter and went by train to the city with the rest of the children, that is, we can talk about an analogy with the film “Home Alone.”
