Richard Branson out of boredom would randomly call from the floor of his bedroom that he used as the desk/table one of his Virgin Air airliners that was cruising about at that moment, have the stewardess hand the phone to a random passenger so he & the passenger could chat for a bit..
Call me paranoid, but I won’t own one of those things. The last thing I need is having something listening into everything I say and do. I’m even leery of my cell phone.
SIRI, ALEXA, CORTANA and HEY GOOGLE are all vying for our attention and almost all millennials and post baby boomers are in love with their digital assistants. Commercials are using these technologies to hype their products — no voice talents are paid — the DAs can fill the bill. These AI based services are available on any device you have and you may have a favorite. My favorite is SIRI on my iPhone. I still have a lot to learn about her skills and shortcuts. She can be a he, a Brit or other voice. I can safely use my iPhone while I am driving and keeping my hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road. SIRI can take dictation, send text messages or read my notifications or email. It is safe and sane texting and calling and staying up to date on my messages, etc. Learn what these DAs can do for you — you’ll like the result.

Report came out that they listen and transcribe the fun stuff then they distribute it to others. Why you would have one of these things is beyond me.

My son asked me why I whisper in the house.
I said I was afraid the NSA might be listening.
He laughed. I laughed. Alexa laughed.
Ignatz Premium Member over 5 years ago
I have never spoken to Alexa, and I don’t know why you would. How is this easier than typing a couple of words?

How much do you wanna’ bet Jeff Bezos DOES talk to random people through Alexa???

Useful. A few people would probably like to tell Jeff Bezos where to go.

Interacting with a computer AI didn’t work out well for the crew of Discovery One. They should have named the thing HAL instead of Alexa.
