Amazon Alexa said Jesus/God is fake/made up/fictional?

My little Robospy just read an entry in Wikipedia when so questioned.

Could have been faked, but we ought to remember that Amazon could have sent out patches to update their alexa software, probably 30 minutes to an hour after the incident was recognized. In fact, they patch regularly. By the way, "People have their own religion" is not exactly convincing of religion's validity. 
I don’t really care.

The idea that a multibillion dollar company that does the vast, overwhelming majority of their business in majority Christian nations would have something like this programmed in is just ludicrous. It's beyond credulity.
If it did, there would be lots of videos of this shit. It's all for the views.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

It's beyond credulity. Maybe not so "ludicrous" nor "beyond credulous" after all. The supposed jesus incident wouldn't be the first time Amazon Alexa behaved in a highly controversial manner, possibly affecting not just Christians, but all types of customers: After the incident above, Amazon quickly sent out patches: Amazon Confirms Alexa Isn’t Connected to the CIA in New Update RE: Amazon Alexa said Jesus/God is fake/made up/fictional?

Yeah that's the same.
This just shows that you don't have the first inkling of how machine learning works. Asking a wifi enabled device if it's "connected" to something can have odd behavior when that thing is not a network device. So they released a patch that corrected this by adding context to that query. This isn't the same as it giving out blatantly inflammatory information. This isn't a good look for you.

Yep, fake
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
