Incident 5516 Report
Alexa Plays Pornography Instead of Kids Song

Kid Gets Amazon Echo Dot Alexa to Play Porn
nymag.com · 2016

After opening a new Amazon Echo Dot for Christmas, one family got an … interesting surprise when their kid sidled up to the device to ask it to play a song by holding the little robot in both hands and shouting into the microphone. It’s very cute! Until, that is, Alexa starts rattling off a list of X-rated terms like “cock pussy” and “anal dildo.”

If you’re watching this video and wondering how the Echo Dot — which doesn’t exactly have an app or skill for watching porn, at least, not yet — played this video, here’s what’s actually happening. The kid’s command, which sounds like “play digger digger” (hmmm) triggers Alexa to search Spotify for a track with that name. What she comes up with is actually the name of an album of dirty-prank ringtones with a laundry list of porn categories in its title to better optimize it for people searching. Probably for actual porn. Which, pro tip for all my horny pals reading, there are better sites for that!

Apparently, “play digger digger” is to a little redheaded kid what “No. 1 Funny Ringtones for Android Best New Annoying Comedy Parody Alerts Alarms Message Tones Tone Alert & Messages — Porn Detected! (Porno Ringtone Hot Chick Amateur Girl Calling Sexy Fuck Cunt Shit Sex Cock Pussy Anal Dildo Ringtones for Android” is to Alexa. You can find those ringtones here.
