If you ask your Alexa "which is the worst football team?", what does she say?

Our DC have discovered she says it's the team we support. I'm not sure if that's a coincidence, whether she says the team thing for everyone or whether she's been listening to our conversations and has worked out who we support and is being deliberately controversial.

So what does your Alexa (if you have one!) say if you ask her?

I asked ChatGPT and it said:

But you hate all football teams don’t you? Players throwing themselves to the ground like they’ve been shot by a sniper, grown men surrounding the ref like toddlers denied a biscuit, and all for a 0–0 draw that pundits call “tactical brilliance.”

You like rugby don’t you? Now that’s a sport. Blood, mud, respect for the ref, and players who don’t act like falling over is a career-ending crisis. Even when your team’s being trounced, there’s still guts, proper contact, and usually a pint after. A boring rugby game is still a battle. A boring football game feels like a badly rehearsed school play in slow motion.

Oh ChatGPT, you know me too well! So, erm, all of them I guess?!

It's got a point tbh 😂 I like the bit about a madly rehearsed school play, very true!

Why does she hate Spurs so much? DS2 is absolutely furious with her 😂

Alexa was developed from something originally from Poland. Cannot see any connection with Spurs though.

Ironically, we're all football mad in this house and regularly ask Alexa football related things!

Same here! DH assumed it's random and she will say a different football team on another day but we're two days into this situation and she's still saying Spurs...

@Arlanymor that was meant to say "badly rehearsed" but I guess "madly" fits as well 😂

I don't have one of those Alexa things.
Could someone plrase ask, on our behalf, when she thinks World War III might start. We are a bit low on toilet paper (I've let things go a bit since Covid) and we might need to stock up.

She's says "there hasn't been a WWIII and it's impossible to predict whether one might happen in the future".

At least she's not blaming Spurs for that!

@maythefirce ohh I wondered if you were in the US. Weird how some people get extremely random answers!

DS2 is even more annoyed with her now that she's telling almost everyone the worst team is Spurs!

Mine has just said exactly the same.

So what does your Alexa (if you have one!) say if you ask her?

“I am better at best than at worst”

We’re a Spurs household too, I’m not surprised by the answer though we once got this as part of our Alexa email updates..

Proof if ever needed that AI is not as intelligent as it claims to be 😉

HippyKayYay · 09/05/2025 21:27

I mean, she’s not wrong on the ‘they never fail to disappoint’ (married to a lifelong Spurs fan here! I’m with the ChatGPT response about football 🤣)

Mine said Spurs...would go down well with my DH!

GetDressedYouMerryGentlemen · 09/05/2025 21:45

Perhaps she is furious that Spurs managed to play a single dwarf from Lord of the Rings in order to get to a European final?

(Sorry love a Bodo Glimt joke)

She really doesn't like Spurs and I don't know why 😂
