Woman throws out Amazon Alexa after it kept speaking to her husband TIKTOK: cozylifewithbless \/ UNSPLASHA woman went viral on TikTok after getting rid of her Amazon Alexa because it kept talking to her husband without any prompts. Content creator Jess (cozylifewithbless) took to TikTok to explain why she and her husband are \u201cofficially done\u201d with the popular smart speaker. \u201cThis past weekend, I was gone out of town, and the Alexa kept going off, and it kept talking to my husband,\u201d she said in a clip that has garnered 1.4 millions views. \u201cHe was playing games at 1am, and he was like, \u2018This is just super, super weird.’\u201d Jess said she knows she\u2019s not the only one being creeped out by the virtual assistant, as other customers have shared their own unsettling experiences online. The \u201cfinal straw\u201d for the couple was Alexa \u201cspeaking after not being talked to at all.\u201d The TikToker said she immediately bought a generic kitchen timer \u201cbecause that\u2019s the only thing we even use Alexa for\u201d and is considering switching to Google Home. Many users shared their own horror stories with the Amazon device. \u201cMy Alexa beeps every morning at 3:30am. I have no timer on it nothing. It just beeps like 2 or 3 times and stops,\u201d one person commented. \u201cI caught my Alexa at 3:00am whispering to my dogs in the kitchen. I thought someone was in the house. I unplugged it,\u201d another shared. \u201cI also used an Alexa in my bedroom. It was freaking everyone in the house out and I caught it randomly recording audio without the command word,\u201d a third wrote. Others had no issues with it, and believed that the couple\u2019s device must\u2019ve been prompted when it started talking. \u201cYou guys are funny you said some word that triggered her or she thought she heard Alexa,\u201d one user said. \u201cYou have to teach Alexa your voice. Mine has asked many times and we\u2019ve never set it up.. so yeah you did that babe,\u201d another commented.
