When Alexa meets Alexa: Video shows conversation between Amazon virtual assistant and the voice behind it

Amazon Alexa, the voice-based virtual assistant of the e-commerce giant, is arguably one of the most popular of its kind. Ever since it was introduced some ten years ago, Amazon Alexa, the cloud-based voice service, has made life easier for millions of users who can now get a wide range of tasks done just by talking to it.

To this, Alexa responds, saying, "You sound familiar. Who is this?"

Caplin then tells the virtual assistant, "I am Alexa."

This seems to have confused the Amazon virtual assistant, which responded by saying, "No, I am Alexa."

This is followed by the virtual assistant and Caplin saying, “I said it first!”
