Ok, so I'm bothered by how much smart devices listen in as much as the next person. But if they said alexa in the question then she will be listening.

Oh good, the AIs are falling in love. And since they're all female presenting, it's only a matter of time before the GOP goes after them for being gay. Isn't living in hell the best.
Ok hear me out, we let the GOP fight big tech over lesbian AI, whoever wins gives us one less big problem to deal with, we’d lose out on sapphic robot love but the upsides are huge
Don't worry, there's still the fanfic forums for sapphic robot love
Oh that was only seven years ago. A more innocent time.
Nono, this is american time. 12/25/17 means 17th December 2025, so it's technically from the future.
So much edge.
watch out that you don't cut yourself 😘
So they are always listening.
Yes, if it has a "wake word" how does it know when the word is being said if it's off
For Echo devices there's a separate system that listens specifically for pre-programmed wake words only.
It's why you can't choose a custom wake word, but have to pick between "Alexa, Amazon, Computer, or Echo."
Not if 'Alexa' is the wake word.
