Guy makes Alexa speak through a robotic singing fish just because he can

The Consumerist:

Sure, you can have Amazon’s digital assistant Alexa speak to you through an Echo, but why not have it respond to commands from the mouth of a wall-mounted singing fish?

Developer Brian Kane hacked Alexa to speak through the mouth of Billy Big Mouth Bass, a singing, robotic fish, the kind usually seen mounted on the wall of a gas station store or your uncle’s basement man cave. Because that’s not the kind of thing you keep to yourself, he posted the delightful/terrifying results on Facebook, titling it simply, “the future.”

This is so clever and so wonderfully demented.

  1. lol weird. When I read the headline I got a chill. I had a dream last night Apple brought out their Echo competitor and it was a speaker that looked like a fish bowl and there was a little robot goldfish in it that looked like it was speaking in Siri’s voice. Then the stock tanked and Cook was fired.

    I think of Tony Soprano whenever I see those singing bass.
