I don't own one so I can't verify but a million other people have verified that isn't what Alexa says about Jesus.

Why would Steven Crowder, an otherwise very solid and intelligent conservative, make this up? I'm at a loss.

ETA: I'm not apologizing. What Crowder depicts in the video isn't reproducible by others and represents a retarded high school sophomore level of fact-checking - historians agree Jesus existed, and if Amazon at all wanted to be taken seriously they would (should?) have better levels of verification for what Alexa gives as answers to what would otherwise be very common questions.

Perhaps I should not have used the word "fake" as the rustled jimmies in this thread indicate that caused quite a stir, but the point remains that the results - now and then - are not reproducible.

Also, two other points. First, you crybabies can stop whining, as I'm sure Crowder doesn't need any white-knighting from keyboard warriors. Second, this has fuck all to do with Trump.

I would get the same response (Jesus is a fictional character) but only if I asked the question in that specific way "Who is the lord, Jesus Christ?". Any other way wouldn't work. I just tried it again and it seems that it has been fixed.

I'm going to guess that the Amazon folks changed the response to that answer as soon as the video (or other media) was brought to their attention and they realized it would bring bad press.

Just a guess.

I saw the video 10 houcrs after it was posted and my Alexa didn't give that response.

This is all I could think of - either Amazon changed something ASAP or it's specifically the way he said it. I have read that others got the same response, but that's hearsay as posted videos give a much more expected response to the question.

I tend to believe it wasn't changed purely because somebody would have noticed that by now. It's not like nobody asked about Jesus before.

OP - why would you assume Crowder was being dishonest about this?  Are you not aware of the fact that the SJW AI known as "Alexa" can be re-programmed with alternative horseshit by the time I've completed this question?

Why would Crowder sacrifice his credibility over questioning some shitbox in the corner of his living room?

You know what they say about assumptions...

Yes, I'm aware of everything that you said, but there was a cut directly before Alexa's response. In addition, it seems unlikely it would respond that way. On the other hand, I don't think Crowder would sacrifice his credibility.

I know nothing about the programming capabilities of Alexa. I suppose it's possible Amazon surreptitiously updated their devices, but that doesn't seem very likely either.

A couple of my students have left Alexi sitting in the computer lab, and they've been asked very similar questions ... and did not give responses shown in the Crowder video.  The time frame was late Fall and Spring semester of last year.

So some of you think he made this up Looks to me that Crowder was just exposing with proof the absolute leftward leanings of Amazon. I appreciate the hell out of him and people like him that speak out against where the mentally retarded (by choice) are trying to lead our society.

EDIT:

To combat the lefts fake news lets get this on the first page for posterity's sake.
