+ouija ouija Posted June 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2022 'Amazon Alexa will be able to mimic the voice of a dead relative' . . . . but 'she' won't, will she? I'm guessing there will be the tiniest of differences(or maybe many not-so-tiny differences), between Alexa's and the dead relative's voices that will simply jar on the ears of those who knew them. I bet there will still be a hint of the robotic in the dead relative's voice which will be spooky/creepy. I think what we should watch out for is what Amazon is actually going to use this mimicking ability for . . . . openly or secretly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the line?, one has to ask. Granted it may not be crossed just yet. But its something to ponder in my opinon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These looked like fun ideas in movies and TV shows about the future, when it just looked like these devices were controlled by you, but there are people who work for these companies that can listen to you. It's an object that listens to (and probably records) everything! Even when it's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
