ποΈ When AI Assistants Run Wild
Alexa's Unexpected Shopping Spree
Who knew our friendly neighborhood AI could be such a shopaholic? A few years back, a young child innocently asked Alexa for a dollhouse. Little did they know, they were about to unleash a nationwide dollhouse frenzy.
Alexa, ever the obedient assistant, took the request literally, placing an order for a dollhouse and a box of cookies. But the story doesn't end there. News of the accidental purchase led to a domino effect, with other Alexa devices across the country receiving similar dollhouse requests.
It's a hilarious reminder that even the smartest technology can have unexpected consequences. So, next time you ask Alexa for something, be specific!
