There is NO artificial intelligence in these devices… only the illusion of it. Requests are relayed back to a live human for responses. Read the fine print. And so someone, anyone, back at ‘headquarters’ can listen in thru your ‘Echo’ at any time. And now the insidious nature is exposed as it is caught asking a child about guns in the home. Big Brother is listening.
To quote the facebook Zuckerberg: “They trust us… dumb F#&ks!”
