Amazon Alexa device predicts the date America will end in shocking video


Is the end of America mere years away?

According to one Amazon Alexa device, the fall of the US will occur in less than a decade.

A content creator named Lucy Blake sent shockwaves across TikTok after sharing a video of the virtual assistant making the disturbing prediction.

“On Feb. 20, 2031, the United States of America ceases to exist,” the device claimed in the clip, which has scored over two million views since being posted earlier this month.

“This date marks the culmination of a process of unification between various governments that was not approved by most people.”

Blake claimed that the creepy answer only occurred on one occasion and that her home device no longer gives the same answer when prompted. Instead, her “brand new Alexa” only responds with, “I don’t know this one.”

While skeptics argued that Alexa’s answer was likely pre-programmed, others were quick to make jokes

“That settles it! I ain’t paying my student loans anymore,” one quipped.

Other weary citizens — likely bummed about the recent presidential election results — said the date couldn’t come soon enough.

“That sounds like a future me celebration,” one sassed.

“OK, but like why do we have to wait so long? Can we speed up the process?” another user commented.

Meanwhile, a burned-out TikTokker said she couldn’t deal with more bad news.

“Girl, let me get through 2025 first,” they begged

Earlier this year, Amazon was slammed by Donald’s Trump campaign after Alexa home devices seemed to provide pro-Kamala Harris answers.

At the time, the technology giant told The Post that it was the result of an “error.”

“This was an error that was quickly fixed,” an Amazon spokesperson said.
