Amazon’s Alexa says Muhammad was a wise man, Jesus Christ is ‘a fictional character’
NOQ Report ^ | 11/24/2017 | Scott Boyd

Posted on 11/24/2017 3:51:53 PM PST by ForYourChildren

Steven Crowder is a conservative comedian who has a penchant for exposing liberal hypocrisies. His latest target: Amazon’s 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.

Yeah, it’s the same as “Alexa...what is the CIA”? followed by “Alexa do you work for the CIA”, and a supposed turn off.

Alexa told me it works for Amazon. It’s all BS. Make people want to try it, and Amazon collects info on how many gullible people have an Alexathing.

It only listens to you, it won’t do anything unless you say Alexa first. It’s like Simon says. Promise.

Credit card number please?

You all need to stop believing everything you read, even if it’s on FR. You’re too gullible.

This!

I would not be surprised if it “learns” from conversations in our home? The day is coming when just about every “smart” appliance will have this trash installed...no opting out.

It’s just like Gmail and Yahoo.

Talk about something in an email and a week later, miraculously, you have lots of ad space devoted to that item or class of items.

Don’t believe me? Write your brother about cat litter if you don’t have a cat. Or roofing supplies, or whatever. Turn them ad blockers off, and by next week you’ll have plenty of suppliers magically directed to those rented Google Ad payper click accounts....

Good point.

Never believe anything but original source documents and even those have to be researched and verified. Don’t believe the lies about Jefferson—go read his OWN words in letters, etc.

Wikipedia is FULL of distortions and evil biases (like textbooks) that makes it impossible to “KNOW” the truth, which is the point of controlling all our information and “news” etc. It is Mind Control: they can control our perceptions if we have disinformation and no truth (like our children get in publik skools). There is no way to have free will if we do not have the truth and the Leftists and socialists banned the Truth (God) over 60 years ago and have put in psy-ops into literature and TV/Movies/Music to control our emotions and destroy virtue and free will in individuals—to create “group-non-thinkers”.

Wisdom is knowing the truth—not just filling your head up with the Leftists’ lies and disinformation and warped perceptions of Reality where Up is Down, boys are girls and evil is now taught as “Good” and “Natural” 24/7—to mind control children and destroy free will and individual identity—for group identities (total dehumanization forcing children to “see” only skin color and perverted irrational, evil sexual behaviors).

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.

Alexa can be made to say anything (Just ask Eric Cartman).

I don't know who this "comedian" is, but I do not trust his post.

Best thing that Neal Boortz ever said:

"Don't believe anything you read or hear unless it is consistent with what you already know to be true, or unless you have taken the time to research the matter to prove its accuracy to your own satisfaction."

Actually there’s less evidence for the existence of Muhammed!

Evidently. Can’t say as I ever heard of him, though.
But everything you read on the internet, especially if it fits our biases, gets assumed true until proven untrue, and maybe not even then.

Words have been totally warped to destroy reason and logic in children.

Smart phones make us dumb by making us rely on technology so that our brains shut down and synapsis atrophy.

Children hooked onto the computers, TV and screens will lose their humanity and their brain is compartmentalized and they lose the ability to interact with humans in healthy productive ways and they can’t read social cues. Their emotions are being controlled artificially by outside sources using psy-ops to warp all their emotions in artificial warped ways so that they become addicts and unable to connect in healthy productive way to other adults as God designed.

It was all planned over 80 years ago by the evil and sexual deviants who want to bring about the NWO where Up is Down, Boys are girls and it is good to have orgies with the little boys again, like in pagan countries and like in Afghanistan with their boy harems. Why? For “happy slaves” you need to corrupt and destroy innocence and virtue in little children—esp. the males. Immoral males are slaves always and destroy civil societies. The easiest ways to destroy virtue formation in children is by hyper-sexualization because of the strong sexual instinct. The screens destroy the psycho-sexual drive in children and warp them in evil, unnatural ways so the little children will be unable to flourish and connect with the opposite sex, and have successful, flourishing children which is the Malthusian’s aims. Billions have to be eliminated for their utopia.

Say to Siri, “I see a little silhouetto of a man.” I am serious. Give it a go.

I hereby coin the enduring term: “AI Retard”.

Usage: Alexa is an AI Retard.

Warning: Subject your child to an AI Retard and your child will develop arrested development. It is more effective to avoid an AI Retard, because learning must not undo fake info first.

Unless they just changed it the answer I just heard from my Alexa isnt' the same as crowders. Said "Jesus, also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, was a Jewish preacher and religious leader. Christians believe him to be the son of God and the messiah prophesied in the old testament.:

Also it seems that it pulls from wikipedia. So whatever wikipedia says is what alexa will apparently say.

If you search for sources where the phrase “Jesus Christ is a fictional character” originates, it traces back to both facebook posts and youtube videos. If your istallation of Alexa has been used primarily for doing youtube and facebook searches, the AI will go to those sources first for an answer.
