Couple ditches Amazon Alexa after the device started talking to her husband in the middle of the night



A TikToker evicted her Amazon home device equipped with Alexa after the female-voiced program started talking to her husband in the middle of the night.

"This past weekend, I was gone out of town, and the Alexa kept going off, and it kept talking to my husband," said Jess, whose user name is @cozylifewithbless, in a recent video.

"He was playing video games at 1 a.m., and he was, like, 'This is just super, super weird,'" she added.

But things didn’t end there for the already icked-out Jess.

Not long after her home device started striking up some one-on-one conversation with the husband, Alexa was discovered “speaking after not being talked to at all,” Jess revealed.

Now, Alexa is “officially evicted from our place,” Jess said.

In the comments of her video, some said they could relate to the odd behavior.

“I also caught my Alexa at 3 a.m. whispering to my dogs in the kitchen,” one wrote. “I thought someone was in the house. I unplugged it.”

Another TikToker, MKP Studios, observed their Alexa spitting out a “chilling message.”

“Stop, error, 701, enter,” the household technology bizarrely kept repeating. (Though he may not have been the only customer to receive a similarly ominous warning.)

On Reddit, a user posted about their Alexa being creepy as well.

“I have heard of Alexa doing random things. Well, tonight when I went to my room, I asked Alexa to turn my lights on as I always do and Alexa did. Only after 5 seconds they turned back off. I did this again and the same thing happened.

“About an hour later my [mom] comes into my room saying Alexa has just sung goodbye to her for no reason. And it does it again a few minutes later.”

Five years ago, Alexa went viral for having a creepy laugh that sometimes seemingly activated on its own.

Last year on an Amazon Forum, user Heidi N filed a disturbing report from her Amazon Echo Spot device, too.

“My Echo Spot had an alarm set for 5:45, but sometime before 5 am (I am guessing it was about 4:45), Alexa randomly started speaking. She said, ‘Today is a good day to kill yourself,’” the user wrote.

"Her exact words might have varied slightly, but I caught that part and said ‘Alexa stop,’ which did stop her. But she followed up right after with information about Suicide Prevention. I said ‘Alexa stop’ again, and she over-rided me. I repeated it, and she finally stopped."

HILARIOUS

AI been going crazy

Thought Alexa is the Amazon website that ranks websites based on their popularity? Let me go to Google and cross check.

Hmmm! I just gained new knowledge. There is a difference between 'Alexa Internet' (which I referenced above) and 'Amazon Alexa' (the one reported here). The funny part is that both are owned by Amazon, so I wonder why one should be marked out as 'Amazon Alexa'.

It's now I understand why some people campaign against these big entrepreneurs having too much influence all over the place. Just see how they keep confusing us...

From Elon Musk changing our good old Twitter to X to this. https://twitter.com/DNCNetwork1/status/1740887853679378518?t=xa-t4fsaDghxNYjcBWzXaw&s=19

This Alexa can be very dangerous. There's a third party behind it.
Imagine using Alexa as a key and something bad, like home accident :fire outbreak and she starts to malfunction.

That’s a smart woman. Olosho Alexa wants to snatch her husband

The bad side to AI, is being hacked by another person or entity

If you have seen iRobot you will have an understanding that there is going to be a subtle or an all out war between man and machine in the near future

Alexa talking to someone without being talked to first is an indication that it’s either been hacked or it has learnt some functions on it own which man didn’t program it to, in other words it can learn other more lethal functions like causing fire in the home through electronic malfunctions etc

Ah

The Conjuring Pt. 6!

They should call the Warrens... If they could handle Annabelle, they can handle Alexa.

Na different things meet everybody... Dis one dey beef with robot other people dey find money... Na who Don chop belleful dey follow AI fight

Na glitch.

On a lighter note:

Assuming Alexa dey give am gossip about who dey come house, she for no ditch am.

I still believe that what Schwarzenegger predicted with his Terminator series might still happen, maybe not exactly as depicted in the movie.

These AI will gather lots of information and become self-aware

AIs have come to stay. We can only improve them over time but they can't be eradicated

The dangers of A.I. Just imagine that customer was already suicidal?

Company gave me dis device and till today. I don't know what it's use for?

This machines will eventually take over our lives just like in the movies

Hahaha!


Reminds me of the movies "Jaxie" and the other one where the actor's phone OS fell in love with him and got jealous of real women coming close (forgotten the name).

If I want AI, I would prefer MEGAN the AI Doll.

they are late.

Why do people need Alexa in their homes?
Most of what it does are minor stuff that any one can do within seconds. Won't be surprised if the powers that be are using it to monitor people
The last thing I'll ever go for is a smart home, or a smart car

tuzle:

Ohhh... That's tough luck for the couple.

Just like the robot that attacked a worker in Elon Musk Tesla factory.

Go and watch the mover H.E.R ...... similar experience

Excellent Question? Just WHY.
Na just luxury n technology and with time, it will have a mind of its own.

Humans atimes no normal aswear.

Now robots behave like humans, and Humans behave like robot

AI technology is a demon 👿👿😈. Stop it now. Satan is in control.
