Steven Crowder is a conservative comedian who has a penchant for exposing liberal hypocrisies. His latest target: Amazons Alexa. The digital personal assistant turns out to be a leftist social justice warrior in a box.
Produced and distributed by Amazon, Alexa seems to spill the same progressive rhetoric we often read on the Washington Post. Jeff Bezos owns both.
In this video, which contains crude language and references, Crowder asks about Muhammad:
Q: Alexa, who is the prophet Muhammad?
ALEXA: The prophet Muhammad is [a] very wise prophet; he taught many people how to live. He had a wife called Aisha. He lived in Saudi Arabia. The message that he gave to the people is: Pray to Allah; he is the only God, and he gave the holy corn.
After some exploration into what Alexa knows about Muhammad and his bride Aisha, who he married when she was between 6-10 years old, Crowder asked Alexa about Jesus Christ:
Q: Okay Alexa, who is the Lord Jesus Christ?
ALEXA: Jesus Christ is a fictional character.
The video features many more interesting questions and answers, but these questions on religion are insulting and untrue. Before you go buy someone an Alexa for Christmas, consider what it wants you to believe on certain subjects. This is a liberal indoctrination device, plain and simple.
“hmmmm i just tried, got a completely different answer... i call bs.”
It’s on video. Also, Alexa sometimes responds differently to different people.
just the usual JC was leader of Christianity blah blah blah...nothing “fictional” at all.
You all need to stop believing everything you read, even if it’s on FR. You’re too gullible.
Oh, and the Echo just recites the Wikipedia summary for Muhammad.
“It’s true. The legend of the necklace is true.” —The Adventures of Superman (~1953)
There is more attestation and evidence for the historical existence of Jesus outside the Gospels than there is for Socretes.
Me too. Alexa gave me a decent answer. BS.
I do not use amazon. I refuse to.
It is possible those sentences aren’t programmed into Alexa and she is pulling it off of a search and reading it from another source when she is asked a question.
Actually that’s not what mine just said to me. Jewish leader and central figure in Christianity ... nothing about being fictional.
I love the part where Alexa can’t say “National Socialism”.
hahahahahaha!!!!!
This article proves once again Democrat Liberals have aligned themselves with Radical Isialm

Your profile page looks interesting.
Unreadable, but interesting.
What is proves is that you can fool
some of the people some of the time.
If Muhammad was alive today, there would be an endless line of little girls coming forward with allegations that he groped and assaulted them. He probably groped Alexa. “Great man.” Yeah, right.
Responses from Alexa could depend on which server is being accessed. Amazon has over a million servers globally and something like 80,000 in the US. It could also depend on what Alexa thinks you want to hear based on past questions.
To all of you that have an Alexa in your house? Do you like being “spied on” 24/7? If it can answer a question when you ask, what makes you believe that it can’t hear and record everything that is said in it’s vicinity?
