    This upcoming new feature of Amazon’s Alexa is Terrifying netizens

    At the recently concluded Amazon’s Re:Mars conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, it was announced that Alexa, the company’s voice assistant might soon replicate the voice of a loved one – even if they’re dead.

    Amazon’s senior vice president and head scientist for Alexa, Rohit Prasad, unveiled the new enhancements to the AI device at the event and said that the new feature would “allow lasting personal interactions.”

    From some calling it to ‘black mirror concept’ to the ones asking ‘will Alexa mimic Jeff Bezos’s voice?’, here’re some eye-catching reactions:
