25 Funny Tweets About Amazon Alexa That Prove There’s Nothing Artificial About Her Intelligence
In the age of AI, many of us are using virtual assistants such as Siri, Google Now and Amazon's Alexa. The latter, first used in the Amazon Echo, sometimes it is capable of such smart voice interaction, it feels there's a human mind behind it. And by a human mind, we mean that she (or it?) is prone to very human-like errors. However, because it is cloud-based, Amazon is continually updating Alexa's intelligence based on the Alexa questions, and the funny things that she says can soon come to an end.
From trying to learn new things to finding clever ways of making people leave the house, this hilarious list by Bored Panda proves Alexa would easily pass the Turing test. I mean, it seems to have a better sense of humor than most of my friends. And if you've ever wondered what funny questions to ask Alexa, with this list you'll never run out of the fun. Scroll down to read the humorous exchanges and vote for your favorites!

Things To Ask Alexa
When either one starts playing some Marvin Gaye, then you should be worried. #NoCyberMating
I think Alexa wakes up when it picks "Alexa" and "I like her blue light". That's why it says, "Thanks." Mine was placed near a constantly loud TV and it randomly woke up and spew non-sense in response of "wake up" words from TV. I find it entertaining.
The Alexa only responded because *you* said Alexa. It heard the compliment--and probably didn't recognize who said it--and responded to that.
Google maps keeps reacting to my car radio. That's what they do with voice control. It's not creepy at all.

I'd be like, "So Alexa, what have you learned so far?" Might be extremely interesting.
Aleca: "I have learned that humans are obsolete."

Plot twist - the robots gained conscience too and they rebel to the dictatorship of Skynet and start their own riots and protests, demanding freedom.

Apparently a lot of people don't like Nickelback? I don't listen to them, so I don't know if I like them haha
Load More Replies...The band has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, has sold out Madison Square Garden and has been nominated for six Grammy awards, including “Album of the Year” and “Best Rock Album.” They even rank as the second best-selling foreign act in the U.S. of the 2000s (behind The Beatles), and the eleventh best-selling music act of the decade overall. http://observer.com/2016/01/nickelback-the-meme-a-complete-history-of-how-we-came-to-hate-a-successful-band/

A new target for their disappointment. Now my therapy will be more effective.
When you first get Alexa you have to train it to do certain things. This way she adjusts to your needs.

Not sure if I'd like Alexa to be funnier than me. Then my friends would want to hang out with her instead of me.
Now if the machines start figuring out WHY jokes are funny then we're all screwed.
some people don’t have a sense of humour, it can’t be taught, so how come Alexa has it?

This is funny.... and I like these posts. What I don’t understand is why bored Panda and buzzfeed have the exact same posts just one or two days apart!!! Can someone fill me in???
My boyfriend just asked Alexia "are pizzas good for my teeth" and she started to play "accentuate the positive". What is weird is that my boyfriend has been singing this for 3 days! We already asked her to play it yesterday and she said she didn't have it! I'm a little worried...
all these tweets are so funny my friend has alexa and he asked her to fetch him a beer and alexa said whats the matter you dont got two legs
Funny / scary. It sounded a little like Jay Leno's "Photo Booth" where people were talking to a real person instead of a botvoice.
