Amazon has announced that their voice assistant technology Alexa will now be able to emulate the voices of dead relatives and loved ones.

IGN reported that a couple of days ago Amazon held their yearly MARS conference, showcasing Alexa’s new feature by reading a bedtime story to a child with the voice of his deceased grandma. When the child asked to be read a story, he asked, “Alexa, can grandma finish reading me the Wizard of Oz?” Alexa then acknowledged the command and then switched voices to sound nearly identical to the grandmother’s voice.

This new upgrade is designed to give Alexa more “human traits” because “in these times of the ongoing pandemic when so many of us have lost someone we love,” Amazon’s chief Alexa AI scientist and Senior Vice President Rohit Prasad said.

During the conference, the company also noted this move is designed to help “make memories last.”

According to Sky News, Amazon is still programming Alexa to be able to mimic other’s voices after hearing only a minute of speech. ‘So your Alexa may soon be able to mimic your departed nan, long-lost friend or, presumably, someone off the TV,’ Sky News added.

The Sun reported that people on social media were a bit skeptical of this new endeavor. One wrote, “My mother’s been dead four years and I’ve not been able to watch old home videos. There’s no way I could handle this.” Another said, “Wait until it goes off at like 3am. How effing terrifying that would be to hear a dead person’s voice.”

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

[9] When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. [10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, [11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

Deuteronomy 18:9-11

Necromancy is trying to communicate with the dead and ghosts, and fortune-tell through those spirits; and one of the meanings of ‘Alex’ means “truth/knowledge.” So I guess you could call this “digital-necromancy.”

And lest anyone say, “well that’s Old Testament,” then take note of the fact that “witchcraft” and “sorcery” is openly condemned in the New Testament, along with emulation.


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • That is a whole lot of NOPE!
    Electronics technology or otherwise, that has Necromancy written all over it.
    Talk about bringing devils into your house! Just as evil as a ouija board, Harry Potter, or tarot cards.

  • Amazon is known for making Alexa and ring security systems. Their goal is to meet the needs of customers. They are attempting to do just that. Any who, here is what they say about the whole Roe vs Wade case (this is from my atoz):
    We know that many Amazonians are experiencing strong emotions following the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling. As a company with 1.6 million employees, there are a lot of different viewpoints on this topic across our team, and we work to be respectful of everyone’s perspectives while also taking care of and supporting our employees’ personal medical needs. We believe that members of our team should have access to the care they need, and that’s why access to and supportive care for abortions are included among the many medical benefits in Amazon’s healthcare plans. We also expanded our travel reimbursement benefits in May to support employees who need to travel more than 100 miles from their home for an abortion, and have included more information below.

    Resources for support:

    You can read more about the previous update to our travel reimbursement and how to access these benefits here.
    Mental health impacts each one of us differently, but help is available. Amazon offers many mental health and emotional support resources to you and your family. If you need help, here’s how to find support through Resources for Living and our Mental Health and Wellness affinity group (you will need to be at an Ops location to access the last link).

    • And also, they are redesigning Alexa to emulate the voices of the dead. We must watch out for ALL witchcraft and sorcery.

  • Yup so true …. the Lord led me to see these two interviews ….. smh

    Crazy times, crazy times.

    Im starting to see somewhat in detail as what God said about shortening the days
    Matthew 24:22
    And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

    That verse really fits in the ai out of control trying to preserve itself video.

    What do you think?
