Amazon has this commercial where this guy is driving in his car and wants to turn the TV on for his dog's entertainment (I guess it just randomly occurs to him to do this) and he says "Alexa, turn on Sider's TV". I gather the dog's name is Sider. Anyway, my Alexa hears this and turns on my TV, because I have an echo box hooked up to it. It's extremely annoying.
If you're going to have a voice activated product, don't have commercials that activate the product at an unwanted time. It makes me not want to use said product anymore.
