Asked about fraud in the race — in which President Joe Biden defeated former president Donald Trump with 306 electoral college votes — the popular voice assistant said it was “stolen by a massive amount of election fraud,” citing Rumble, a video-streaming service favored by conservatives.

Amazon declined to explain why its voice assistant draws 2020 election answers from unvetted sources. But "after The Washington Post reached out to Amazon for comment, Alexa’s responses changed," the newspaper writes.

Hey Alexa, only conservatives love to be lied to. All the rest of us dislike being lied to, and we think that the people who love to be lied to are the dumbest of the dumb. And an AI that lies is a useless piece of garbage.
