In the middle of the night (I was awake but trying to fall asleep) in a dead silent room came on by her own and said: "Playing Power Metal"

I had to ask her to stop 4 times before she finally listened. (Should have got up and unplugged but I was panicking lmao)

THATS getting returned.

Neither of those cases though are or show complete active recording at all. The first one is sound clips. And most of them were him engaging with Alexa. The second one is just a subpoena and nothing more.

Alexas technology has already been looked into and it diesnt have the intellugence to 24/7 record. It uses sound waves to try and identify its wake word which sometimes other sounds might activate it.

Our own devices do the same. checking googles audio history on yourself might spook ya. Its database and sophistication of voice are far far superior than what Alexa can do.

False positives (like when power metal came on for me) are what the devices are mostly guilty of.
Amazon’s Alexa technology is designed to capture voice data only after a specific voice command, called a wake word, triggers a recording mechanism. Despite some instances where private conversations were accidentally recorded and uploaded to the cloud, Khanna’s claim greatly overstates things. We found no evidence to suggest the device records every conversation and sends it the cloud. It does record conversations when it hears the wake word, and in some cases the device has misinterpreted speech when people didn't actually say the wake work.

We rate this Mostly False. -Politifact

And Alexa specifically permits access to our history if recordings too: https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/talkingtech/2018/05/28/how-listen-what-amazon-alexa-has-recorded-your-home/649814002/
