Yup, exactly. I'll never have one in my home, I'm not that lazy. "Alexa, can you change my thermostat temp?" Really? LOL. Never mind some employees were caught to have spied on some homes and ppl still welcome those things w open arms.
To be fair, we're already screwed since we all pretty much have 'smart'phones, but why introduce yet another listening device that is purpose-built to listen in?
