Update: Amazon said in a statement to BuzzFeed News on Wednesday afternoon, "In rare circumstances, Alexa can mistakenly hear the phrase 'Alexa, laugh.'"

I think it’s planned.
Because Alexa never cries when it hears “Alexa, cry” or sneezes when it hears “Alexa, sneeze” or coughs when it hears “Alexa, cough”...

Their explanation is BS, but the truth may be more uncomfortable for them to admit.
That the framework of Alexa is horribly unsecure and someone put a timed/triggered sound into it.

They are laughing because they finds it hilarious that people would actually pay for a device that spies on them.

A hunger that never dies. It is strong, overpowering. An ancient terror. It has a name. Beratis, Kesla, Alexa!

I don’t want one of those damned things in my house.
I’d probably stomp on it the first time I heard its “voice.”

Um, no. This basically confirms that Amazon is “listening” where homes use this device, and the “listeners” get bored and start playing games with people.
Americans. Learn. First we allow Facebook to have our faces to develop facial recognition technology, and then we allow Amazon/CIA whatever into our HOMES?

I had the fix a few days ago - there are many qualified exorcists for Alexa. They all live in the hardware aisle in Home Depot, and the all look suspiciously like sledgehammers.
Just sayin’.
Of course, the best option is never to pay for an electronic snoop in your own home, but some people just don’t get it.
