Alexa should be treated as a different kind of stranger. I think it's a huge mistake for children to talk to computers. It's inherently dishonest for a single voice to represent something so manipulative and fluid as if it's a person.

It's not amusing at all. It's incredibly spot on. Alexa has very limited knowledge and 0 interpretation skills, but, worse than all, behaves as if it does.

(note that, in a sense, a book has very limited knowledge and 0 interpretation skills, but its behaviour is passive).
