The joke plays on how smart speakers like Alexa and Google Home are notorious for accidentally activating when they mishear wake words โ and then they often say "sorry" when they realize the mistake! Studies show these devices can activate up to 19 times per day without being summoned. Engineers continue working on reducing false activations, but background conversations, TV shows, and similar-sounding words still trigger these helpful (if overly eager) assistants.
