Amazon Alexa Laugh: Amazon Working On Fix For Unprompted Laughing Bug

Users of Amazon's popular artificial intelligence-powered personal assistant Alexa have been reporting instances of the voice assistant laughing without being prompted, leading Amazon to search for a fix for the issue. In a statement provided to the Verge, a representative for Amazon said the company is "aware" of the problem and is "working to fix it." Reports of the issue on social media date back as far as Feb. 22. Amazon is working on a fix to make Alexa stop laughing without being prompted. According to user reports online, Alexa appears to be laughing without being prompted. While Alexa can laugh on command, the laugh that occurs on its own is apparently much creepier and closer to a cackle than the playful giggle that Alexa performs when asked.
