Alexa...

I got an Amazon Echo and some Philips Hue lights for Christmas. Seeing as Alfie doesn't pick up on many words, I didn't think he'd pick up on the name 'Alexa' very easily.

Oh how wrong I was.

Less than a month later, my housemate heard Alexa responding to Alfie today. I check the history and listened to the recordings the Echo had picked up and Alfie is just repeatedly saying 'Alexa' and practicing it in both mine and my housemates voices! 😂

I'm waiting for him to start changing the lights and music!

(I have turned off the option for ordering by voice, so I don't get any surprises sent out!)

Might as well get Alfie his own credit card to use for purchases!

Greys LOVE Alexa! So many funny stories out there of greys 'ordering' stuff through Alexa.

So far he's managed to turn the lights off on two occasions. Alexa took a wild guess at what Alfie might have been muttering about and decided he said 'lights off'.

Alfie has also managed to trigger a news update and a couple of random phrases which Alexa responded too... mostly with confusion or to say she didn't understand.

Tell Alfie to be careful with news updates, most of it is biased fake garbage.  He's better off asking for cartoons.
