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.

That makes sense. Some sort of learn as you go type of programming. But it does seem odd that it said Jesus was fictional. I don’t see Crowder reading a lot of that. Unless that was in his history of seeing that they had to say about that. Have to learn all of their arguments and fight back at the core.

“I thought Alexa learned your preferences.”

I read an article years ago about the internet. Where most people believe it widens your world. The writer noticed that when he would search for things at a friend's home he would get different results. So he had a bunch of search items that he passed out to his friends.

For the various friends it found articles that typically reinforced the friend's ideas or interests.

Something about France might bring a bunch of recipes, restaurants and stuff for the “foodie”, museums and art galleries for the artist, political stuff for the social activist. So it perhaps DOESN'T widen your world - just reinforces it.
