We just spent most of a week at my sister's house. Sis has one of those Alexa boxes. We got to mess with it.
It isn't easy to fool it, it just says "I don't know that".
At one point it mentioned the "wake word". None of us knew what that meant. (it is the name you say to trigger a response)
So we said Alexa, what is the wake word. And she said "Would you like to change the awake word? Shall we get started?" And then my sister walked into the room... "NONONONONONO..."
But Alexa will be speaking reminders for the next few days.
Inevitably when we get together we wonder what movie something was from or who some actor was, so we asked her instead of google.
