"There's a theory that early Europeans started saying "brown one" or "honey- eater" instead of "bear" to avoid summoning them, and similarly my friend has started calling Alexa "the faceless woman" because saying her true name awakens her from her slumber"

@cmconseils I think it is very sad that people don't name their daughters Alexa anymore, the name is going extinct. The only other name I can think of which rapidly disappeared is Adolf.

@cmconseils Before my wife and I figured out how to shut it off, we referred to the Google assistant as "Gargoyle."

@ridetheory @cmconseils Disabling that "OK Google" nonsense is one of the first things I do when I get a new smartphone.

@cmconseils I'm not very sad about that Adolf thing though.
