shocked! shocked i tell you!
Where did they come from?? Like how did Amazon get them??
the article answers all your questions
Oh
This actually is nothing new
Your title made me think the Alexa might have been recording people randomly for no reason
Did you read the article?
Just read it
Alexa is an actively listening system because it has to listen proactively in order to respond to commands. So, yes it does record people talking about things that have nothing to do with it, and then it sends this random data that has nothing to do with its function to Amazon servers where it’s stored indefinitely.
