    Shouldn’t the voice control specifically target the user voice just to prevent other people interfacing with your device? Otherwise ads can say “hey meta order a crate of coke” or someone on the street might shout “hey meta send a WhatsApp to all my contacts that proves I’m an idiot”

      Yes.

      Ok funny story… had a friend that was an early adopter of the Amazon Echo. Went to our usual get together for board-gaming and he was showing it off. The look on his face when I said “Alexa, order a 55 gallon drum of KY jelly” and she proceeded to place the order (this was, at the time, a thing that was actually available on Amazon). He had to rush to his computer to cancel the order.

      Funny as hell…

      Voice from TV interacting with voice assistant was always a problem. They never target specific voice.
