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.
Alexa learns whatever sources you prefer. It doesn’t necessarily default to wikipedia.
Me too. This creep has an agenda and its not good. Probably hates apple products.
You believe this creep? You are gullible.
I am very biased for Crowder. So far, I have found him to try to expose society’s ills. I have to agree with the posters here who suggests either the information it was reading from was updated or changed. Or that it was accessing a different source at the time. Either scenario seems logical to me.

Buy ALEXA for CHRISTMAS
Q: Alexa, who is Jesus Christ?
A: Jesus Christ was a fictional character, because Alexa’s creator is the richest man in the world named Jeff Bezos. Mr. Bezos hates Christianity because Christians put Christ above Bezos.
Very interesting take. Very. I can’t say I disagree in the least.
Some can never get over being stupid. The writer of this trash is one of the some.
Sometimes. Particularly if it fits the values and strategies of the globalists.
It could be a setup or maybe, geographical, political factors or some random nth in the algorithm that selects what you get. I thought Alexa learned your preferences. They could have asked previous questions or made purchases that would lead Alexa to give those types of answers.
Google Home will answer who Mohammed was but won’t answer who Jesus is.
I think it may have gotten confused, since it was on the islam stream. Something like who do muslims say is Jesus Christ.
I just did that. Hilarious.
Me too. I just checked and it's not even close to the answer I got for either question.
Alexa is creepy. And the answer “it” gave, makes me feel ashamed for having Amazon prime. But I refuse to use Alexa; it’s bad enough every computerized device we have listens in on us 24/7. I don’t need one that talks back.
Out of curiousity I just tried this on Alexa. It said: "I'd give that one a go, but I think Freddie Mercury is the only one who could do it justice. Though a thousand karaoke fans may disagree."
What does Siri do with it?
No, it's NOT. It's MUCH MORE invasive than email! It's potentially eavesdropping on all of your private conversations in your own home! Sorry but I'm not so lazy that I can't turn on a light or the TV myself. If I want to order something I have the option of going online to order it or making a phone call. Much rather that than to have some "listening tool" always on in my house.
Jesus isn’t a “was”. He IS!
There is no king of the universe; there is only GOD, the CREATOR of the universe.
And his only son, given to us to absolve us of our sins.
We only have to believe.
“Alexas a liar.”
It is odd. I recently had a couple of full blooded Russian moslem ISIS guys do some work on my house for me. Did a great job.Told me they considered Jesus a prophet on the level of Mohammed.
