Tried an AI voice assistant for my elderly dad. What could go wrong?

Got my 78 year old dad an AI smart speaker for his apartment in Phoenix. Thought it would help him set reminders and check weather. First thing it did was play polka music at 3am because he asked about the time. Then it ordered 4 bags of birdseed from some random site. He still uses it but I unplugged it every night now. Anyone else have a senior relative go rogue with AI?

Did you check if he accidentally joined any online polka forums while hunting for birdseed?

Did your dad teach it to interpret "what's up" as dinner music for birds?
