Your Amazon Alexa Is Most Likely Possessed By A Demon

We’re living in a time where people are completely OK letting Google, Siri, Alexa or any other voice-command system that is there to help you out and make your life easier. Hell, sometimes they even call 911 for you. But what happens when one of those devices begins laughing out of nowhere like a demented child? Well that’s what Amazon’s Alexa has been doing for some users lately.

The unprompted laughter has been freaking out a lot of people, especially since it sounds like this:

So Alexa decided to laugh randomly while I was in the kitchen. Freaked @SnootyJuicer and I out. I thought a kid was laughing behind me. pic.twitter.com/6dblzkiQHp

I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that laugh in Ghost Adventures when they are able to record that voice. In my opinion it’s most likely a demon that has decided to take over Alexa as most demons aim to do. According to The Verge, Amazon says they are “aware of this and working to fix it.”

Amazon says they are planning to fix this scary glitch by disabling the phrase, “Alexa, laugh,” and changing the command to “Alexa, can you laugh?” Amazon also adds, “We are also changing Alexa’s response from simply laughter to ‘Sure, I can laugh,’ followed by laughter.”

How about we just stop making trying to make her laugh? It’s weird and sounds like the response of a witch after she summons a bunch of dead people. And guess what? Twitter is not about this at all.

Lying in bed about to fall asleep when Alexa on my Amazon Echo Dot lets out a very loud and creepy laugh… there’s a good chance I get murdered tonight.
