It's going to be interesting to see how kids partially raised by Alexa during these critical stages of rapid development end up in contrast to their peers taught by humans.

Some obvious predictions for Alexa Babies:

1. They will develop lifelong bonds with Alexa/Amazon.

2. They will have lower IQs than their exclusively-human-taught peers and (in more extreme cases) be considered intellectually and developmentally disabled.

3. The derogatory term "Alexa Baby" will come to define a generation who's parents failed them, ultimately leading to the redefinition of "child abuse" and "bad parenting".
