I want some YouTube tech channel to test this out and see if this story by Amazon is bullshit or not. Have a private-sounding conversation and intersperse it with a sudden nonchalant, 'hey, alexa visited me today and...' and then keep talking and then 'I really want to send a message to these students, you know and...' and so on and so forth.
- Uberphallus 8y agoNot a test, but obligatory link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMRI-YDHT2I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMRI-YDHT2I When the episode was aired there were numerous reports of the show triggering Alexas and Google Homes of the viewers.
- tetrep 8y agoI think it's decently plausible if your Alexa hears you, but you don't hear your Alexa. So you continue on your conversation, and you say enough to keep progressing the flow. I would assume any failed speech recognition attpempts are recorded so Amazon can have a human look at and classify them, but at the very least they probably keep logs, so they should have this information when debugging. Maybe we'll get a more detailed postmortem later.
