I think it's important to note that, at least with Alexa, the device isn't transmitting to the cloud 24/7 - the "wake word" detection happens locally, and then it starts streaming to the Amazon servers. Okofish (talk) 13:18, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
I think I Know You're Listening should be mentioned as a related comic. Effy (talk) 13:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
That's a recent variant of an old joke. https://www.google.fr/search?q=voice+command+format+c+colon Perhaps Randall got triggered by this news: “Alexa, buy me a dollhouse.” --MGitsfullofsheep (talk) 15:31, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
It's worth noting that Amazon Echo was recently criticized because the host of a television show was filmed using his to make an order, which, when watched, was recognized as valid on devices which didn't use a pin. This caused many unanticipated purchases for viewers. I'm not sure wether it was an urban myth, but I heard lots of discussion on the topic a few months ago. 108.162.246.95 17:08, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
- A quick google shows it's related to the dollhouse story: https://www.engadget.com/2017/01/08/amazon-echo-attempted-spending-spree/ --108.162.238.11 18:20, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
Don't read this comic out loud. 13thehappykid (talk) 20:42, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

This device reminds me on Star Trek (TNG):
Captain Piccard: Computer, initiate self destruction. ...
Nowhere else people are talking so often in a human form to a computer. And I'm sure that will be the future -- not only at home or in a car.--Dgbrt (talk) 21:07, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
