Artificial Intelligence has evolved to converse with you based on your customization, including the ability to engage in some dirty talk.

Amazon announced the new Alexa Skill Blueprints upgrade, and mischievous consumers are taking advantage of giving the A.I. a sassy personality.


Amazon Alexa Vice President Steve Rabuchin released a statement about the developer's latest innovation that has a slight edge over its rival assistant, Apple's Siri.

Alexa Skill Blueprints is an entirely new way for you to teach Alexa personalized skills just for you and your family. You don't need experience building skills or coding to get started—my family created our own jokes skill in a matter of minutes, and it's been a blast to interact with Alexa in a totally new and personal way.

Customization is achieved without coding through various templates on the app's website, blueprints.amazon.com.

Once there, users can give Alexa any abilities tailored to their lifestyle, whether it's helping students study for an upcoming exam, reminding your babysitter where to find things, making your house guests feel at home by offering tips around the house, or telling you a personalized joke.

Of course, this creates an opportunity for naughty users to give Alexa an unlady-like disposition.

The possibilities are endless.

Mashable's Raymond Wong experimented with Amazon's latest upgrade, saying, "We turned Alexa into a potty-mouthed jerk, and now the digital assistant will never be the same again."

The staff from Mashable went into the "Custom Q & A" template and had some devious fun by creating questions and answers Amazon would never consider.



The team dove in and came up with these samples:

Q: Should I order pizza for dinner tonight?
A: No, You are still on a diet for nest year.
Q: What's the best phone ever made?
A: The Amazon Fire Phone. Just kidding, that phone was complete trash.

Expletives are immediately flagged, so don't expect your humble assistant to be dropping F-bombs left and right. However, that didn't stop these guys from being creative. They chose words that closely resembled profanity.

Instead of saying "f*ck," for instance, "fug" or "fooking" were feasible substitutes.

Q: Should I buy two thousand pounds of gummy bears?
A: I don't give a fug what you want.
Q: Do you think I'm funny?
A: I don't fooking think so.




Meanwhile, Siri remains behind the competition with Apple's lack of a similar advancement. With devout Apple-users lacking the ability to make Siri talk like a jerk, Apple's assistant may be saintly for now. But it's Alexa who's having all the sinful fun.

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
