That's about what it's coming to. Still looking for that time machine to be finished. Lol.

That's nuts! Ours is MUCH simpler; we merely say, "Alexa, flush toilet!"

Some assistant. We have a few of these devices (NO; none in bathrooms) and 'she' just starts a conversation and sticks 'her' nose into everything. I swear she'll join us for dinner some night at the table! (Hope she brings wine)

@perrone1 Tony...is Alexa real or *inflatable?
* Not a trick question
Inflatable? Uh; no. Alexa is the "Wake Word" used on Amazon's devices called Echo Dots. We have several around the house. They are AI machines that answer questions such as weather, keep reminders of appointments, can call emergency services, order food or medicines, tell you who won the Oscar for that year, find an address or phone number and play music etc. We also have the Amazon Unlimited music that may be streamed on any one or all of them.
The female AI voice 'learns' from questions asked what to look for and recognizes the person, interacting with it, by name. And while it is always on and listening, all recordings can be shut off or erased.

@perrone1 Amazing and I sit here with my rotary dial phone waiting for a party line. What will they come up with next, air conditioned cars?
