Adam was 'shocked' by what he heard Alexa say ( SWNS) In a video posted on TikTok, Adam asked: "Alexa, how do you stop kids from laughing?" And the device responded: "According to an Alexa Answers contributor, if appropriate, you could punch them in the throat. If they are writhing in pain and unable to breathe, they will be less likely to laugh." The virtual assistant came up with the answer through its Alexa Answers platform, in which people can submit answers to questions that Alexa doesn't currently have a response to, in order to feed information to the device so that it can then read those answers out to other people who ask unusual questions. Adam's video quickly gained popularity after it was posted online, and has racked up over 215,000 views and more than 21,000 likes - with many finding the brutal response hilarious. The dad said: "We've just got the Alexa and I saw it on a post on Reddit with funny Alexa questions. A lot [of questions] had no responses, one was 'where can I hide a body?'. So when it answered with that I was shocked. "I decided to put it up on TikTok because I found it funny, 21,000 people liked it so){kind=link}
