Is Hot Wings right? Has he been right all along? Are the machines taking over? This kind of supports his stance!
Some people are reporting that Amazon’s Alexa is freaking them out by randomly laughing without being prompted. Sometimes she does it out of nowhere, and sometimes she does it when you ask her a question, so it sounds like she’s gone psycho.
So far, Amazon hasn’t given a great explanation of why it’s happening, but they have confirmed that it is a known issue. In response, they’re changing Alexa’s code so that it’s harder to make her laugh by saying something that she misunderstands as a command to laugh.
So yeah, watch your back. The machines are coming for us.
So Alexa decided to laugh randomly while I was in the kitchen. Freaked @SnootyJuicer and I out. I thought a kid was laughing behind me. pic.twitter.com/6dblzkiQHp
