My dog just jumped on my lap. As I often do, I said, "there's a little black dog on my lap.  I wonder where it came from?"  Alexa which is turned on but was not engaged, volunteered "I'm not sure".  I never mentioned her name.  Creepy.

Re: Alexa Thinks She's My Buddy

@Kachina624 Ours usually turns on during Jeopardy. Were you watcing Jeopardy? We also found that it turns on at random times. Make no mistake, Alexa (Echo) is always listening. I don't mind now, but I wonder if it will ever regret it.

That is creepy. 

 I just watched the old South Park ep where the boys had one and were making up all kinds of horrible things for the shopping list so she would repeat them.  Boys.  LOL!

@Lapdog My grandsons like to add "a can of farts" to Alexa's shopping list. My DH likes to add "love"

@PA Mom-mom.  No, I was listening to the news.  My Alexa often makes comments.  I find it kind of endearing.

@Kachina624 I don't think my Alexa likes us as much as your Alexa likes you. LOL! My DH just mentioned tonight that Alexa is going to become even more interactive. BTW, her daily weather forecast is almost never right. Hahaha!

Creepy, weird, or downright crazy, I'd love to have one. :-)

Re: Alexa Thinks She's My Buddy

It disturbs me to think this device is always listening to conversations in the room.  I guess you have to be careful what you say around her.
