'All I See Is People Dying,' Said by owner of Amazon Echo
A San Francisco man says that Amazon Alexa had a very scary experience last week.
Shawn Kinnear. 30, he told Metro Metro that suddenly his Amazon Echo told him that "every time I close my eyes, all I see is that people are dying".
Alexa almost never talks if we do not talk to her, and Kinnear says he did not say anything to wake up the language assistant.
Kinnear told Metro that he had stopped his Amazon Prime program and that he came back from the kitchen on June 18 when he heard Alexa's morbid statement.
He reportedly asked Alexa to repeat the statement. Alexa told her that she "did not understand".
In general, if you ask Alexa "Can you repeat that?" she will do it. But Kinnear did not say exactly how he had asked Alexa to repeat the statement. While "Can you repeat that?" It usually works, "What did you say?" Not always, for example.
Are the robots finally standing up? Maybe, but there are other plausible explanations.
On the one hand, since Kinnear could not record this incident, it is unclear to what extent he misinterpreted Alexa's misinterpretation.
Alexa also revealed by saying the title of a song title, "Every time I close my eyes (all I see, people die)" from Digital Reality. Kinnear, or some other device in your house, accidentally said something for Alexa to call this song.
Another member of the Kinnear House (said the echo belongs to his partner) could also intentionally or inadvertently have a memory of the melody of the digital reality (or Kinnear could be a victim of a good old fashion joke).
In the Alexa app, Alexa records all the conversations you've had so far, including the information you've heard. If you have a scary experience with Alexa, we recommend that you review the app to see what happened.
