Virtual assistant units have become a staple in many UK households, telling people whether to expect rain, what time it is, and what the outcome was in football.
Among the most frequently used is Alexa, which is accompanied by a parent Amazon He released the top questions and requests for the program between 2024. There were some things you might believe: “What is bitcoin worth?”; “What is the population of the earth?” and “what is AI?”.
But some other popular questions were slightly more leftfield, such as “how long do you cook sausage?”, “Who did Henry VIII marry?” and “How tall is Cruise?”.
In the kitchen, many people have used Alexa as a virtual solid chef, answering other food-related questions and helping with recipes for pancakes, Yorkshire puddings and banana bread.
Celebrities have been the most talked about with Alexa, with David Attenborough and Paul McCartney joining Cruises in their private lives when asked by users.
Monarchs and world leaders also asked for a lot. King Charles III-era Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s height of US president-elect Donald Trump’s network was among the most common questions asked. Overall, Henry VIII attracted more questions than anyone else living or dead in relation to who he was married to.
One name that dominated searches was Taylor Swift. The US megastar appeared on the top number of searches for celebrities of height and age, and was the second-most searched on the net, after Elon Musk, the richest man in the world.
On top of that, Swift was the most-singing music artist on Alexa, ahead of the likes of Eminem, Ed Sheeran, Adele and Beyoncé. She also included three of her albums in the top five of the year, all of which fell behind Sabrina Carpenter’s Sweet n’ Sweet, which became her first.
He dominated the sports section of the list, with all 10 sports questions relating to Premier League clubs and the English national team. Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland have all been highly scrutinized players over the year and, probably for the love of sport in the summer during England’s European Championship build-up campaign, one of the most popular questions asked of Alexa was: “Alexa, is he coming home?”
