My wife and I were lying in bed one night and I mentioned to my wife “have a headache and my legs ache” and Alexa out of nowhere says “Goodbye”.
Freaked out, I tried to figure out why she said that… and through experimentation I found out that if I say “My Legs Ache” fast ( without much pause between words) it triggers Alexa 75% of the time.
Not sure what caused her to say goodbye… But for a long time after that I would say “Mylegsache” every time I wanted Alexa’s attention…
Incidentally… I have noticed software must have changed because I just tried to see if “Mylegsache” still causes her to respond. She still lights up blue when I say that, but no longer responds to me. There must be software added to prevent incorrect responses.
In another thread we were talking about being rich and I said I thought servants were creepy, so @blaineg asked how I’d feel about having robots. I’d like to have this one, please. https://enchanted.tools/
I was doing something unrelated and out of the blue my Apple watch said “I don’t know how to call your daughter.” I have no idea what prompted that. I wasn’t asking to call anybody, and also, don’t have a daughter.
When we went to visit my brother-in-law in Florida he was demonstrating all the cool things his Alexa could do.
Had his sister ask Alexa where the silverware was. Response: it is in the drawer, left of the dishwasher. Asked Alexa to tell her where the plates were. Response: it’s in a cabinet above the counter to the right.
Asked Alexa where is the liquor cabinet. Response: it’s only 10:00 in the morning. Maybe you should consider treatment.
If not actually smarter, we can still take advantage in other ways, right?

@narfcake during group prison, we would change the lights at our nephews house over Zoom. And fun was had by all!
@narfcake I tried to tell that joke to someone, and activated Alexa.

Almost every time SWMBO tells Alexa to turn off the Porch String (of lights), she adds string to the shopping list.
Must be the English accent.

@Kyeh that one to you isn’t creepy?
@OnionSoup No
(It flaps its ears!)
@Kyeh @OnionSoup if only Mr. Babadook had flapped his ears…

@Wollyhop Hmmm - I’m not sure that you’re not a bot, trying to dispel our suspicions!
@Kyeh @Wollyhop Yup, if you tell it to calculate pi to the last decimal and it doesn’t die, then it’s already smart enough to enslave us all.
All hail the great HAL 2000 Skynet Max Headroom!
