In a video that went viral over the Thanksgiving weekend, conservative comedian and commentator Steven Crowder conducts a question and answer session with Amazon’s “Alexa” that shows that the artificial personal assistant is more interested in giving users her “far-left social justice warrior” opinion than straightforward facts. The video of the clearly “editorializing” responses Alexa provided to simple, direct questions resulted in a flood of conspiracy theories accusing Crowder of “faking” the whole thing. In response, on Monday Crowder posted the raw footage of the back and forth with Alexa proving that her leftist slant is no “hoax.”
Crowder introduces the raw footage (below) by slamming those accusing him of trying to pull off some kind of hoax. No, “Simon says” mode wasn’t on, he explains, and they didn’t fake Alexa’s voice or ask Alexa different questions then deceitfully edit them for their purposes. Instead he had simply noticed that the program “can be incredibly leading” and “has a significant far-left bent,” so he and his producer asked her a few questions and recorded the exchange.
