Alexa Listens to the News<\/b><\/p>\n

Perhaps the funniest thing that\u2019s happened so far, however, was the mass ordering of dollhouses. It all happened when CW6 news anchor, Jim Patton, discussed a story about Alexa on the news. The news anchor was talking about a girl who ordered some things with the family\u2019s Amazon Echo. He said, \u201cI love the little girl saying, \u2018Alexa ordered me a dollhouse.\u2019\u201d Patton\u2019s comment prompted all Echo-owning viewers to have Alexa order them a dollhouse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alexa is Smarter Than You May Think<\/b><\/p>\n

Someone also discovered that Alexa understands many movie references such as, \u201cWhat happens if you cross the streams?\u201d from <\/span>Ghostbusters<\/span><\/i> \u2014 and many more beyond that classic reference.
