Unexpected assistant easter egg, fun and a little creepy.
My girlfriend LOVES taunting my stupid little angry fish voice assistant. It's the first thing she does when she comes over, and she will text me in the middle of the day when she thinks of new ways to piss it off.
Yesterday was her birthday, so I asked it to tell her happy birthday. It's using gemini as the conversation agent, so it told her "fine, happy fucking birthday," and various insults, which is expected per the prompts it uses, but then every one of my voice satellites, including the other fish, suddenly also wished her happy birthday too.
I don't have any automations set up for this, I don't think it's some built-in thing. I think the AI figured out how to do this on it's own. It's not like a huge leap, it has access to all the devices, but it's still not something I directly asked for.
It was cool, and unexpected, but it's a little creepy when I think about it. lol. Maybe I'm just too easily amused to be fascinated by something like this, but it was fun and freaked us both out as all the devices around my house started saying happy birthday and her name.
