Amazon Echo Drug abuse 2

  • Alexa on Amazon Echo Show devices has suggested users ask it what they can do with leftover drugs.
  • Alexa routinely suggests feature hints and other information. These suggestions may be annoying, but they usually stick to SFW topics.
  • Users have long struggled to turn off Alexa Suggestions completely.

Digital assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant often form the central point of a smart home setup. They not only help you control your smart home devices but also make it easy for you to look up queries on the web. But sometimes, these digital assistants can mess up. Some Alexa-enabled Amazon Echo Show owners were in for a rude shock when their smart displays began prompting them to ask drug-related queries.

Reddit user Guitar_Scary was caught off-guard when their Amazon Echo displayed an Alexa Suggests suggestion, prompting the user to try asking the digital assistant, “What to do with leftover crystal meth?” A graphic also accompanied the question, as you can see in the image above.
