was chatting with new roommates today and one of them told me he spent two years working for amazon labeling and fixing mistakes Alexa had made

as in, listening to everything people had said to alexa and finding errors

internet connected microphones are terrible and v creepy. but, like, was the expectation that amazon isn't listening to you when you address your amazon-brand internet connected microphone to buy something from amazon? particularly when the alternative would be the user getting hosed when alexa screws up and orders a 50-gallon barrel of anal lube instead of a stick of deoderant?
