Based on the article, it lets her ask them things that she doesn’t want to ask her parents, though I’m not sure that if I were 9 years old that I’d suddenly want to discover that my parents have a list of everything I’ve asked it and are reading through it, much less that Amazon has a database.
Yeah, that is a terrible violation of trust. A parent should stop listening when they find out that they have a copy of such conversations of their child. They shouldn’t write a newspaper article with citations about it
A parent shouldn’t be letting their single digit aged child have unsupervised access to the Internet. Agreed that they shouldn’t be publicizing it, but this idea that parents should be letting their kids have secrets when they’re so little is one way dangerous adults take advantage of kids.
To add to the other responses, and I suspect the real reason, is that Coco is listening to Audible Audio books regularly and/or music. It’s mentioned and then dropped by the article fairly quickly.
Interesting how every comment on the article is doing the “you’re a terrible parent, how could you do that” routine when I’ll bet it’s there because Coco either took the first one in or asked for a second one. Kid wants, kid normally gets one way or another.
Also, surely this device is no different to a phone in that neither is meant to be listening indiscriminately. There’s a chance a 9 year old has a phone nowadays I’d imagine
Edit: No one answers the question yet downvotes me for asking a simple question that wasn’t clearly answered in the article. That article really didn’t say anything outside of Amazon documents every prompt ever.
The most concerning part about this article is that they put one in their nine-year-old’s bedroom.

Yeah, that’s a terrible idea.
This seems like a bad idea, to me

Why?

They work great as an intercom, if you have them in every. Room
Yeah, an intercom between you, your kids, and Amazon.
