Utah Bob #35998 6,224 Posted April 29 Will Alexa respond to anybody’s voice? Burglars could stand outside and holler “Alexa, unlock the front door”. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only if you have a lock with that capability and have it hooked up to Alexa. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only those people stupid enough to connect their door locks to the internet will soon discover if this is an issue or not. 5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buffalo Creek Law Dog 155 Posted April 30 Google Home, which is the same as Alexa, you can set it so it will respond only to certain voices. If you have more than one device in your home, you can also use it as an intercom, you just have to use the prefix, "announce." then say your message and it will come out in your own voice. We have a 3 story house so it works great as an intercom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Subdeacon Joe 11,169 Posted May 2 A couple of times I've been using the voice feature on my cell phone to enter a Google search and it has picked up either something my wife said or something from the television. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 9,103 Posted May 2 Kind of like Siri picking up a cussing tirade of mine. All of a sudden I hear this female voice coming from my pocket saying “I don’t know how to respond to that”. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 3,284 Posted May 3 About Siri. I was surprised when I learned how many languages Siri could write. (I can’t say ‘understand’ because Siri does not understand anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 9,103 Posted May 3 I like to mess with Alexa and Siri. Apparently I am not the only one. From the electronic web of donothingness: https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/best-alexa-easter-eggs/?amp Siri used to be more fun to mess with . Now they seem to have toned her down a bit. I remember asking Siri ”Why do motorcycles go Vroom Vroom?” Her response, and very motherly, I might add: ”You had better be careful on that thing” She (It) only did that once and I could never get her to repeat it.
