Me to the cat: Get outta the cabinet.

Amazon Alexa on the counter: I used to have a few bugs but they got squashed.

So apparently she’s going to start interjecting herself into my conversations from now on.

Side note 1: I have an Amazon Tap because I want to be able to take it to any room in the house. It requires hitting the microphone button, which oddly enough I don’t recall doing when she interjected a few moments ago.

Side note 2: Voice activating computing is the next big thing in the home. And probably the car next.
