It’s bedtime and you tell Alex to turn off the lights. After the third request, Alexa stopped responding and instead did an evil laugh. Alexa’s creepy laughter was first discovered a few weeks ago, but the issue has since escalated. A number of people have taken to social media to share their stories. Many have said spontaneous child like laughter came at inappropriate times and did not sound like Alexa.

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel interviewed Alexa, asking her why she’s laughing. Check out the clip below!
