Wait! So you're saying that Alexa actually includes the capability to record voice, and send recordings to contacts? I suppose that some would love that. But, as this demonstrates, it's prone to fail spectacularly.

You'd think that there'd be protection. Maybe a restricted set of contacts who could get such messages. And a confirmation step, such as "Do you want to send this recording to 'my mother'?" Or "... to '911'?"

Edit: Damn, didn't see Clubber's comment.
