As I was getting dressed this morning, a weird piece of music was coming from my bedroom. I leaned around the corner and said, “Alexa, stop.”
The blue ring activated, but the music continued to play.
“Alexa, stop,” I repeated, figuring my connection was weak.
Again, the blue ring activated, but the band played on.
“Dammit. Alexa, stop!” I commanded, walking towards the unit as I spoke.
That’s when I realized the music was issuing from my cell phone, and not the Bluetooth speaker. I silenced the YouTube video I’d left playing on my phone and apologized.
“Alexa, I’m sorry for yelling at you.”
“That’s okay,” she replied.
I wasn’t certain Siri would forgiven me so easily. So I yelled at her and then told her I was sorry. Her response? “No need to apologize.”
Maybe it’s time I did all of my conversing with these two pretend people. They don’t yell back, and they’re quick to forgive.
Peace, people.

very funny – but I am still not sure how I feel about having these devices listening in and recording what we say in our own home… hmm

I know what you mean. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that Alexa’s voice had changed slightly. When I asked her about it she told me to mind my own business. Not really, but I’d hoped that’s what she’d say.

Studly communicates better with Siri than I do, but Alexa responds better to me.

I once muttered “Oh, do go away” when Siri popped up to surprise me. “That’s very rude” was the reply.

I talk to myself way to often. Something talking back after this long would freak me out every single time :0

I talk to myself constantly. Alexa doesn’t hurt in unless I say her name.

That is funny. At the stepson’s house, I asked Alexa to play Cheaptrick just to make sure it wasn’t secretly on recording my conversation while housesitting with husband.

I wanted to see if I got the same response as you from Siri, so I apologized to her. She responded, “It’s all good, Martin.” 😉 – Marty

We don’t have one of those devices in our house. and I don’t usually talk to Siri. For some reason, a lot of AI creeps me out. It’s nice to know that at least Alexa and Siri are polite… as they are plotting to take over the world.

Siri isn’t on alexa’s level. But both of them outdo Nancy. Nancy is what I call my gal in the car. Several years ago my SYNC became Nancy. Seemed totally rational at the time.
