RegGuheert Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 This is pretty funny: Amazon 'Alexa' Orders Dollhouses For Owners After 'Hearing' TV Report. According to CW6 in that city, their morning show anchor Jim Patton commented on the story and said “I love the little girl, saying ‘Alexa ordered me a dollhouse.'†The station reports that after Patton uttered those words “viewers all over San Diego started complaining their echo devices had tried to order doll houses.†:lol: :lol: :lol: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKim Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 oh my! I read in the the other thread about Echo's is that there is a way to turn this feature off. Yes. I have it turned off on ours. There is a place in the app to do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegGuheert Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Yes. I have it turned off on ours. There is a place in the app to do that. Is there a setting to tell Alexa what type of dollhouse to purchase when the anchorperson on the TV orders one? ;) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 :laugh: This reminds me of a podcast I listen to. They were doing a give-away and wanted to use random number generator by asking Siri to choose a number. Apparently when he did, a lot of listeners found their Siri had also chosen a number for them. Now they edit out the part where they talk to Siri. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKim Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Is there a setting to tell Alexa what type of dollhouse to purchase when the anchorperson on the TV orders one? ;) I figure she didn't actually order them, but said, "Ok. Which dollhouse would you like to order?" That is how she talks, lol. I bet the little girl who originally ordered one was just ordering the Alexa daily deals. You can ask, "Alexa, what are your deals?" And she will describe them to you, one at a time, and ask if you'd like her to order one for you. I figure the little girl just told her yes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Our Echo often responds to Rhett and Link on Good Mythical Morning (youtube) when they ask Alexa stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The only times our Alexa has responded to something on tv she says, "I'm sorry, I didn't understand." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegGuheert Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 The only times our Alexa has responded to something on tv she says, "I'm sorry, I didn't understand." It's the times that she DOES understand that you have to worry about. :glare: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
