Family friends have a curious tech toy that plays music of choice on verbal demand, and will "discuss" things, the fine points about limits or capabilities being lost on me. Sits on the kitchen counter adjacent to a major traffic path in the house. Apparently there is some humorous conflict between adults, teenagers and toddlers now and again, and it seems the tactical advantage lays with those of fewer years. Teenagers want to hear current rock, the old man of the house wants to hear something like Eye of the Tiger, and in the middle of it all the 5 yr old granddaughter walks into the fray and says "Alexa, Fart!"

And boy howdy, does she! ROTFLMAO......

Just remember, if that thing is listening to you all the time...it's listening to you all the time. And sending every bit of it to...?

Probably true, but it ain't my house and, well, I can think of a 1,000 ways to screw with their heads. And the granddaughter can likely cook up another 2-3 thou on her own. laugh

Not even Einstein can calculate the possibilities in that little brain.

This summer I bought a cell phone from Amazon. Amazon loaded a bunch of their crap on it including alexa. I can't delete it but I was able to deactivate it. I don't know if it's still listening in. I never talk about anything crucial to national security anyway.

Alexa play Waylon Jennings......anything that can play Waylon at my request is alright with me.

What if......Alexa heard a conversation between Shifty and Pelosivich about how they were going to kidnap Don Jr and sell Melania to the Chinese? The possibilities boggle the mind....

Alexa, what color panties are you wearing today?

She sounds hot.

Should "paper" the walls with tin foil.

My grandsons discovered Alexa could fart soon after we got the device - she's impressive! More recently it's: 'Alexa, I just farted' and she replies with 'Congratulations' followed by clapping. The boys entertain themselves for hours with Alexa...

Jeff Bezos and/or his designees. That should provide some reassurance that nothing bad could come from it.

Any expectation of privacy is thrown out the window by having one of these devices.

And if you don't have Alexa there are fart noise apps for your smart phone. So how much could we be spending for a fancy fart box? laugh

I'd have Alexa asking "Who Schitt?"......

They definitely listen to you. I have a Kindle fire tablet. Alexa is turned off but I can tell by the adds I see that it is listening.

Artificial Intelligence has gone way too far when Alexa and a fart noise app start having a conversation.

It wouldn't surprise me if you could get a phone ring tone of a fart. They have about everything else.
