    "During that story's segment, a CW-6 news presenter remarked: "I love the little girl, saying 'Alexa ordered me a dollhouse'."

    That, apparently, was enough to set off Alexa-powered Echo boxes around San Diego on their own shopping sprees. The California station admitted plenty of viewers complained that the TV broadcast caused their voice-controlled personal assistants to try to place orders for dollhouses on Amazon."

    hahaha

    Voice recognition software has clearly come a long way.

    I can't decide if Amazon is some sort of master troll facility or if these people are dumb for leaving their thing close enough that the TV orders stuff.

    I've heard of players with variants of the username "Xbox Off" playing Xbox Live.
