Singularity Watch: Developer Adds Amazon’s Alexa to Horrible Singing Fish

Technology listening at all times to anticipate your behavior and needs is already creepy—giving it an animatronic face isn’t helping. Or maybe it is? However you feel about Amazon Echo persistently eavesdropping on you around the house, asking Alexa a question gets a lot more intense when she answers through the mouth of a wiggling fish.

The unholy union was created by developer, Brian Kane, who posted this unsettling version of his Amazon Echo hacked into a Big Mouth Billy Bass. While she doesn’t sing any ‘80s classics in the video, it’s still pretty horrifying. But then again, Siri has already taken the edge off talking to a novelty robot, so who are we trying to fool. Though decidedly more expensive than in its As Seen On TV days, this is probably the future we deserve.
