Yeah, this smart home shit is creepy as hell. I don't even like having my phone around me, so I'm sure as hell not getting an Alexa.

I like my smartphone, but it creeps me out, too.

People have also reported their phone's social media apps showing them ads for incredibly specific things they merely thought about. I have no idea how that would even work, but it's a pretty common phenomenon.
