She’s the go-to smart assistant for millions of people around the world.

And now Amazon has revealed the questions and requests that Britons asked Alexa the most in 2023 – including some rather weird and wonderful entries.

Elsewhere, ‘Barbenheimer’ fever saw Britons ask Amazon’s smart assistant ‘Alexa, what’s the Barbie movie about?’ and ‘Alexa, how long is the Oppenheimer movie?’

However, several other Britons opted for more unusual requests, including ‘Alexa, insult me,’ and ‘Alexa, fart 17 times’.

In the top spouses list, ‘Alexa, who is Jennifer Lopez married to?’ was the top search, followed by ‘Alexa, who is Taylor Swift married to?’, and ‘Alexa, who is Gordon Ramsay married to?’
