This is how AI takes over the World, via Big Mouth Billy Bass.
Stop laughing, it’s happening right now.

It’s unclear to me if it works the same as the hacked versions or not. I hope so:
Well I know what new IoT project I want to work on next.
Beat me to the punch.
Needs a bumper sticker:

Of all the weird, useless fads to keep swimming upriver, Big Mouth Billy Bass takes the bait.

No. Just No.
Give me a free software AI assistant that doesn’t report my life to advertisers, and then maybe.
How about a whole shoal of Alexa-enabled bass on the wall, muttering to each other in the watches of the night…

The lightbulb has to want to change?

Santa is a virus.
Hm, house guest filter?
