【19 Sectret Pesonal Study (Rated 19 Secret Lesson)】

Amazon just announced Alexa Skill Blueprints9 Sectret Pesonal Study (Rated 19 Secret Lesson) which makes it really easy to create your own custom Alexa questions and responses.

The idea is to give you more personalized responses. Amazon suggests custom questions like "Alexa, who's the best mom in the world?"

Naturally, we had other ideas: We turned Alexa into a potty-mouthed jerk, and now the digital assistant will never be the same again.

Creating customized Alexa Skill Blueprints is a cakewalk. You just go to the website, log into your Amazon account and enter your questions and answers.

The website provides over a dozen different recommended ways to craft custom "blueprints".

For our admittedly immature purposes, we selected "Custom Q&A" and then it entered our questions and response.

It takes a few minutes for Amazon to update Alexa with its new knowledge, but once it's good to go, you can get some pretty terrible responses Amazon would never approve of.

Alexa, what's the best phone ever made?

Alexa, do you think I'm funny?

Alexa, should I buy two thousand pounds of gummy bears?

Alexa, should I order a pizza for dinner tonight?

Alexa, what's Ray's favorite snack?

Amazon doesn't officially allow Alexa to use any profanity (the software will flag swear words before you submit them), but you can still trick it into saying a close-enough sounding word.

For example, "f*ck" isn't allowed. So we went with "fug" and "fooking" and that cleared up any issues we were facing.

Yeah, we're bad people for making Alexa a jerk. For your own conscience, maybe keep things clean. Alexa's a family member! Don't do her wrong like that. That said, for better or worse, you totally could make her a badass mofo if you want to. Thanks, Amazon!

Alexa, who's the greatest person of all time?
