Alexa Laughs at Creepy Times

Alexa is supposed to be just a machine that sits there until you talk to it.

But what if Alexa starts doing creepy things all on her own? 

There are plenty of stories of artificial intelligence gone wrong.

But recent reports from owners of Amazon Alexa devices are being called 'bone chillingly creepy.'

Some users say their Alexa-enabled gadgets start laughing totally unprompted. 

One user reportedly tried to turn the lights off in their home but Alexa repeatedly turned the lights back on, eventually uttering an 'evil laugh,' according to BuzzFeed. 

Another Echo Dot owner said they told Alexa to turn off their alarm in the morning and she responded by letting out a 'witch-like' laugh. 

Alexa is programmed in many voice-activated devices with a preset laugh, which can be prompted by asking: 'Alexa, how do you laugh?'

But so far, it's unclear why Alexa is laughing even when users don't ask her to.

Yep....that's creepy.

Is it interesting that some of the smartest men in the world are warning us that AI could be the most dangerous thing to ever confront humanity?
