Amazon ’s Alexa has derive out with some reasonably weird things since its exit three geezerhood ago , but now it ’s run too far and needs to be killed with flaming .
Over the last year , it has freak out some users by abound intocreepy demonic laughterwith no warning whatsoever .
Then it did this , but we still did n’t recall it was time to ruin Alexa . It was just a glitch .
And when ask about chemtrails , Alexatold users :
" Chemtrails . Trails impart by aircraft are really chemical or biological agents deliberately spray at high altitudes for a intention undisclosed to the general populace in clandestine program directed by political science officials . "
But we think Alexa ’s response just needed a bit tweaking .
However , this latest Alexa faux pas clearly means it needs to be smashed to smithereens and fired into the warmheartedness of the Sun .
Shawn Kinnear , from San Francisco , told Metro UShe feel " disturbed " after he walk back from his kitchen into his lounge only to hear Alexa say :
" Every time I come together my eyes all I see is citizenry dying . "
After an awkward silence , which should have been taken up by nail Alexa to pieces with a shovel , Mr Kinnear said he require Alexa to reiterate herself . She deny all knowledge of the sentence , order him that she did not understand his asking .
Before you shovel your own Amazon Alexa to piece , we should say that this plausibly wo n’t encounter to you .
" While it all sounds a touch Lovecraftian , rest assured it ’ll bend out to be a utterly humdrum glitch , " protection expertChris BoydofMalwarebytestold IFLScience .

We ’re not sure whether this makes us experience well though , or whether it just intend he should smash the TV to pieces as well , just to be sure . However , Boyd assert you should be more disturbed about other Internet - connected devices .
