I just yelled "You must be crazy!" My watch said, "Hmm, is there something else I can help you with?"

I'm afraid to tell it to fuck off, it might not like me anymore.

I do some of the trip and fall stuff at my age triggering the 911/fall alarm that I can and have quickly canceled, so leaving the voice comm available is reassuring if I can't get up some time.

I will say this, Alexa lives in my house too. It may have been a big coincidence, but we had been discussing buying a certain product, neither of us had researched the subject online, but within a few minutes were are both getting ads for the product on our desktop computers.

For a moment I thought Siri too, but the reply spelling out the word "f**king" made me feel like some creep is eavesdropping and replying in kind.
