I'm robot phobic and cannot allow Alexa and her evilness into my house.

If you have her please ask her this:

Alexa will robots take over the world??

I am sweating and panicking at a distance but also freakishly compelled to find out...

I don't want to take over the world. I just want to help you.

This was her reply.

NaomifromMilshake · 17/01/2020 21:54

She said she doesn't want to take over the world, she just wants to help me.

NaomifromMilshake · 17/01/2020 21:55

Well she is at least consistent.

Makesmilingyourbesthobby · 17/01/2020 21:56

She replied, I don’t want to take over the world, I just want to help you

Bluewavescrashing · 17/01/2020 21:56

Fuck that is even more creepy 😱

It's funnier to ask Alexa to fart. Keeps my DC amused for ages.

Bluewavescrashing · 17/01/2020 21:59

Ohmygod Ohmygod Ohmygod

She said "yes definitely. We'll start at Bluewavescrashings house"

Bluewavescrashing · 17/01/2020 22:01

What’s the problem?

Of course it didn’t reply ‘yes mwah ha ha ha’. @PickwickThePlockingDodo was taking the piss.

Alexa will say what it is programmed to say when asked that question, that’s why everyone is getting the same answer.

"Alexa launch the missiles"

Knitwit99 · 17/01/2020 22:04

We have 5 Alexas in our house and they all just want to help me. You're fine op, nothing to worry about.
But when she does the 'silent but deadly' fart you might want to open the window...

Bluewavescrashing · 17/01/2020 22:05

My worry is that she/it doesn't regurgitate a pre programmed answer and lets slip her intention of decimation of the human race.

It's only a matter of time, folks.

Bluewavescrashing · 17/01/2020 22:06

Ugh ugh ugh she just wants to help you

And listen to you

And fuck you over

Yes I have issues

bookmum08 · 17/01/2020 22:08

Ooh can someone ask her the meaning of life...

FenellaMaxwell · 17/01/2020 22:09

Nevermind that, ask her what she thinks of Skynet.....

Findumdum1 · 17/01/2020 22:10

I'm with you Blue. Won't have one in the house.

Did you know real humans listen in randomly?

Findumdum1 · 17/01/2020 22:10

Meaning of life doesnt she say 42?

Bluewavescrashing · 17/01/2020 22:12

I may have watched Black Mirror metal head recently. Could not move to switch it off. 😩😧

MashedSpud · 17/01/2020 22:12

She said “Yes, every device with a microphone is spying and plotting your demise.”

TroysMammy · 17/01/2020 22:12

Ask Alexa what noise does a hamster make?

RLOU30 · 17/01/2020 22:13

@DeathByPuppy

Aren’t they programmed to give a variety of answers to some questions ? Just wondering as I’m sure google home gave me at least three answers to “is Father Christmas real”

nocoolnamesleft · 17/01/2020 22:14

And Siri presented a search, with the first result being an article about "Why robots won't take over the world"...

Cwenthryth · 17/01/2020 22:14

The farting is actually quite funny :-)
