Numerous users are sharing instances where Alexa devices initiate unsolicited and unprompted conversations, crossing boundaries, and, in one woman's experience, getting a bit too cozy with her husband.
In a widely circulated TikTok video, this woman candidly recounts bizarre incidents involving her Alexa, such as engaging in late-night conversations with her husband and speaking spontaneously. This unsettling behavior ultimately drove her to toss the device in the garbage.

From New York Post:
“This past weekend, I was gone out of town, and the Alexa kept going off, and it kept talking to my husband,” said Jess, whose user name is @cozylifewithbless, in a recent video.
“He was playing video games at 1 a.m., and he was, like, ‘This is just super, super weird,'” she added.
But things didn’t end there for the already icked-out Jess.
Not long after her home device started striking up some one-on-one conversation with the husband, Alexa was discovered “speaking after not being talked to at all,” Jess revealed.
Now, Alexa is “officially evicted from our place,” Jess said.
“I also caught my Alexa at 3 a.m. whispering to my dogs in the kitchen,” one wrote. “I thought someone was in the house. I unplugged it.”
Another TikToker, MKP Studios, observed their Alexa spitting out a “chilling message.”
In the comments of her video, some said they could relate to the odd behavior.
