If you were lucky enough to get an Amazon Echo for Christmas, by now its leading lady, Alexa, will probably already have become a big part of your life. Want to switch the kettle on without getting out of bed? Alexa will do it for you. Want to belt out a duet with Usher without even leaving the comfort of your sofa? She's on it. Need to find out what the weather is like in rural Russia? She's probably already working on it.
But even Alexa, magical as she is, has her limits - as these people found out first hand. From the little bit freaky to the just plain absurd, here are some of the best creepy Alexa moments the internet has to offer:
1. Not at all terrifying

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/RachelElamMUA/status/946586143625236481]] Love her or hate her, it's safe to say Alexa and her artificial intelligence friends have made their way into our lives and are probably here to stay, regardless of whether they're creeping us out with their sarcastic comments or listening to every word we say. Because after all, it would be such an effort to make those 10 steps to the light switch ourselves, right?
