ALEXA HAS A CREEPY LAUGH
Amazon's robot speakers are one of the most successful new gadgets of the past decade, bringing Alexa to millions of homes around the world. And now, customers are reporting that Alexa is laughing at them. It's a creepy unprovoked laugh - a sort of chuckle that haunts your every dream.
One Echo owner said on Twitter that their Alexa “creepy” laughed out of nowhere while they were tuned into the 2018 Winter Olympics.
It’s not clear what’s causing the random outbursts, though it’s not unusual for a smart speaker to incorrectly identify certain sounds. Could be a third-party app affecting it. And some say the device could be infected by malware. (insert creepy laugh here) Hahahahahahahaha!!!
