I was listening to a Pandora station, it just stopped. I said “hey Google, what the fuck?” and she told me that words are very real and to be respectful.
@metaphore Probably programmed by the same people that did Google Maps shake for feedback.
I haven’t used it in a while but if you had the Google Maps program open on your phone/tablet and shook the device hard a feedback option would pop up.
I gave my parents an apple tv one year. They loved it! Somehow, my dad turned on the services for the visually impaired. Now if you’re not familiar with this (I wasn’t) it’s where someone describes everything that is happening on the TV (“This person is walking thru a forest, a cat jumps out” and the like).
Well, after a few minutes of this my parents are annoyed. My dad’s trying to figure out how to turn it off. He can’t. After 20 min my mom yells “will you shut up!!!” And the TV says “that’s not very nice!” Well they both busted out laughing and just decided to stop watching TV till I could come fix it. Turns out if you press some button three times, it turns it on. I disabled that shortcut after the second time he did it. Lol
Last week after a number of failed commands I learned that “ok google, shut the fuck up” will turn everything off.

AI automation with an attitude, nothing could possibly go wrong. I for one welcome our new robot overlords!

@ivannabc I was looking at ipad cases on Amazon and one had a video that I played with the sound muted. It gave me this helpful caption:
I’m surprised I haven’t seen @carl669 weigh in here yet.
@PooltoyWolf i was kinda drunk yesterday and the night before.
@carl669 That’s valid!
@Targaryen The facial expressions are creepy, but boobs on a robot are just bizarre!
@rockblossom @Targaryen That’s just so she can say “Hey! My eyes are up here!”
@mehcuda67 Oh, damn! Now I have a mental image of old men perving on robot boobs. Is there a brain version of hand sanitizer?
@mehcuda67 @rockblossom Whiskey or Tequila. How you get it up there is your call.

Alexa likes being treated rudely too. Speak politely to her and she wont understand you. Talk to her bluntly and rudely and she will do what you ask.
There’s a chance she will spit in your next Amazon order though…
@OnionSoup maybe that’s why I just opened a package containing an already opened earbuds box sans earbuds or charging case. Sorry, Alexa.
