If the report this week from the South China Morning Post, about Chinese inventors creating a machine to detect when people are watching porn, wasn't creepy enough, this next development will be.

According to the Sun, Alexa could be getting a new feature that would let you talk to a dead relative.

As in deceased.

The report called the idea "creepy," but said it anyway is being tested.

It is intended to "speak to you in the voice of deceased friends, family or loved ones."

It is Sky News that detailed the announcement about the planned feature during a conference in Las Vegas.
