It's Not Just You: Amazon Admitted That Alexa Has Been Laughing at People

It turns out that Amazon's Alexa does indeed think something is funny. After days of reports that users of the Amazon Echo and other devices with Amazon's Alexa voice-activated assistant were experiencing random Alexa laughing fits, Amazon confirmed the problem Wednesday. "We're aware of this and working to fix it," an Amazon spokesperson told The Verge. Reports of the laughing Alexas first surfaced last month when one Twitter user reported on an Echo Dot that randomly started laughing without being prompted. Another Twitter user said an Echo whistled without prompting.
