Alexa, play me some blues

There's a commercial out now, where this kid comes in the house,nose buried in his smart-phone,
And says"Alexa, turn on the TV." I would love to hear Alexa say,"turn it on,yourself bozo, I'm thinking.".....It seems we have reached another low pinnacle in the evolution of our species.
The labor-saving devices we created now require too much effort to turn on and off, so we
created other devices to do that labor-intensive chore for us.
What happens if Alexa has a "bad-hair day"and doesn't feel like being bossed around?do people
have to do it themselves? How cruel is that?What if Alexa has a fail-safe device that won't let
anything work if she doesn't want it to? Don't forget, if hackers can get anything they want out
out of the NSA,How much easier would it be to scramble "her" thinking?
Hard questions, I know-Something to think about tonight,when you're lying in bed, halfway
asleep, and a small nagging thought comes creeping into your subconscious:What IS she thinking?
Do these things have voice recognition?What's to keep some perp from tapping on the window
and yelling"Alexa, turn off the security and open the dam door!"
