Funny Things to Ask Alexa

We'll start with some of the funniest answers to questions. We've already asked Siri where to bury a body and to divide one by zero, so what are some funny questions to ask Alexa? Alexa, are you a robot? You can also ask her what she scored on the Turing test, which is a test developed by Alan Turing to determine if an artificial intelligence is indistinguishable from a human.Alexa, how much do you weigh? Yes, she can wax philosophical.Alexa, where is Chuck Norris? If there is a Turing test for a sense of humor, it has to be about Chuck Norris, right?Alexa, what is your favorite animal? Remember, it is important to get to know your A.I.Alexa, what is your favorite movie? And I highly suggest you watch it!Alexa, which phone is the best? It's funny to ask Siri and get a "You are kidding, right?" answer, but Alexa's response is better.Alexa, what are the three laws of robotics? You'll get the expected answer here, but it is still quite impressive.Alexa, up up down down left right left right b a start. This might belong in the Easter Egg section, but it also may be the funniest answer Alexa gives to a question or (in this case) a command. Amazon

Fun Tricks Alexa Can Do

It's obvious the programmers have a lot of fun coming up with answers to some of these questions, but there are a few areas where Alexa goes beyond just a flippant answer and displays some serious skills. Here are a few of the cooler tricks she can perform: Alexa, can you beatbox? Spoiler alert, she sounds a little nerdy.Alexa, can you rap? She's a better rapper than a beatboxer. Alexa, can you sing a song? She won't win a Grammy, but she actually has a few different songs she can sing. You can also simply say, "Alexa, sing a song."Alexa, can you sing Happy Birthday to me? You can also wish her a "Happy Birthday" and she'll sing to herself.Alexa, tell me a joke. You can keep repeating this one for different jokes. You can also ask her for a dirty joke and get the expected kid-friendly version of dirty jokes or say. "Alexa, knock knock." But don't give Alexa that command around your six-year-old unless you are a real fan of hearing knock-knock jokes all night.Alexa, what is pi? She can calculate more decimal points than most of us.Alexa can you tell me a fact about... You can ask this one about dogs, cats, birds, etc. She has a number of facts stored about each of these, so you can keep asking. If you ask her to "tell me about dogs" instead of asking for a fact about dogs, she'll give you a Wikipedia-based answer.Alexa, play Jeopardy. This is where we get into some serious tricks. Alexa has a number of games she can play from Twenty Questions to Runescape. Did you know there are secret Alexa commands you can use? Once you're done giggling, try these secret voice-activated gems.
