Google, Alexa Stymied by Questions of Christ

Google Home and Amazon's Alexa seem to know the answer to any question — unless it's about Christ.

According to the Fox affiliate in Nashville, Tennessee, Google Home and Amazon audio speaker owner David Sams says both give two different answers when asking "Who is Jesus Christ?"

"I even asked Google who is David Sams? Google knew who I was, but Google did not know who Jesus was, Google did not know who Jesus Christ was, and Google did not know who God was," Sams told Fox.

One YouTube video illustrates how Google Home responded to the query: "Who is Jesus?"

"I'm not sure how to help you with that," Google Home responded.

Asked "Who is Jesus Christ," the voice replied, "Sorry, I don't understand."

But Google Home rattled off a reference to Jesus if asked about the Last Supper and even Saint Peter — and there's plenty of information on the prophet Muhammed, Buddha and Satan.

"It's kinda scary, it's almost like Google has taken Jesus and God out of smart audio," Sams told Fox. "First it started with schools."

"I don't know if there's some kind of wizard making these decisions or if it's some kind of oversight," Sams said. "But whatever it is, they need to address it immediately."
