If you've ever caught yourself asking Alexa any weird and wonderful questions, you're not alone.
Whether it's the kids asking for fart games or you're asking it to tell a joke, since the Alexa devices came into our lives we've used it as an oracle of sorts.
Amazon has confirmed what the most asked question has been for 2025, and while you might assume it would be something like "what time is it?" or "tell me a joke?", it was something deeper.
Alexa is Amazon's Artificial Intelligence assistant, and the most posed question could give her something of an existential crisis.
We've all been asking "What is AI?" - in effect, asking Alexa what it is.
If you want to ask Alexa your own tricky questions, you can get an Amazon Echo Dot (currently with 45 percent off) with Alexa built in with voice control.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick allows you to stream the latest TV boxsets, film and sports events.
The voice control with Alexa can be used to speak to it to ask to find your favourite shows, as well as link it with smart home devices.
You can speak to it and ask for lights to be switched on and off if you've got the corresponding plug sockets, as well as ask it to find a new boxset for you.
With 4K streaming too, you'll never have a glitch and those scenic views of your favourite show will look stunning. Even better, it's currently 60% off.
As well as asking what Artificial Intelligence actually is, we've also been asking "how long should I poach an egg for?" and "what's the diameter of the Earth?"
My most asked request is to set a timer when cooking, FYI.
It seems we all want to know the same things, as well.
People have also been asking lots of questions about the lifestyles of the rich and famous.
Most of us want to know their net worth, their height and who they're dating.
In particular, it seems we're all fascinated with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Taylor Swift and Elon Musk.

In terms of height, we all want to know more about Tom Cruise, while people want to know how much money Elon Musk has in the Bank, as well as YouTuber MrBeast and Taylor Swift's net worth.
People also want to know who Ed Sheeran is married to as well, while asking Alexa to play tunes by Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars.
We've all been gripped by KPop Demon Hunters this year, and three tunes made the list of the 10 most-played songs, as well as the soundtrack being the most played album.
In Australia, people wanted to know how tall Sabrina Carpenter is, as well as asking "how to fall asleep", and bizarrely, "how to solve a Rubik's Cube."
In Ireland, Alexa was asked "What is the value of bitcoin" and "how old is Donald Trump?"
Other popular teasers include "How many moons does Jupiter have?" and "Is a tomato a fruit or vegetable?"
