Jeff Bezos explains why it's a good idea that Alexa can't read your mind, video features Scarlett Johansson

Who would have thought that one day we'd have flying cars and people could also go on a vacay to space?

The world is getting so futuristic and advanced that now anything seems possible. It won't be too long that our home tech will also start to understand our emotions and respond to our thoughts accordingly, like a psychic reading your mind!

But if that ever happens, will it be a good thing? Well, founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos on Monday shared a video which hilariously explains why it's better if Alexa, the company's virtual assistant technology, stays away from our heads.


The 1-minute and 30 seconds-long video, which is a new Super Bowl ad, stars Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson and her actor-writer husband Colin Jost as it depicts all the things that could go wrong if Alexa starts to read our minds.

In the video, Alexa is seen chilling the Rose for the couple's perfect game night, playing morning music for a calm and soothing beginning, ordering food without mentioning it to spilling the tea at dinner parties. It's hilarious.
Advertisement take a funny dig at how a smart AI technology could really put a person in a messy situation during social events as it would possibly not understand the 'white lies' concept and just being brutally honest.

For example the scene where Jost and Johansson are having a movie night at home, and the actor turns and asks his wife whether doing love scenes on-screen with hot guys is fun or the worst, to which the actress says "the worst" while Alexa starts playing 'Little Lies' by Fleetwood Mac. Ouch!

All right, Bezos, we got your point.
