Yes.

Ok funny story… had a friend that was an early adopter of the Amazon Echo. Went to our usual get together for board-gaming and he was showing it off. The look on his face when I said “Alexa, order a 55 gallon drum of KY jelly” and she proceeded to place the order (this was, at the time, a thing that was actually available on Amazon). He had to rush to his computer to cancel the order.

Funny as hell…
