Google shuts down new Burger King ad

[Swa]

They actually do have voice recognition but not the home units as they are supposed to be used by anyone that is in the house, unlike your phone. The latest Android phones learns your voice and actually ignore other people's "Ok Google" promps.

I reckon Burger King did more than "hack" the device, they hacked the media. I mean look at how much media cover they getting now, vs an ad that had a limited run for no extra cost.

That seems like a huge security risk.
Burglar: Ok Google, give keys.

No-one picked up yet that the Wikipedia site had been tampered with to add 'rat meat' and 'toenail clippings' as Whopper ingredients?

...Burger King launched two slightly tweaked versions of the ad late night Wednesday on episodes of NBC's The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC in New York, Miami and Los Angeles.

By substituting the voice saying the command with a woman's voice or a different male voice from the man seen in the ad, the new spots again activated Google Home devices. When USA TODAY tried the ads Thursday morning, Home once again started listing Whopper ingredients, courtesy of Wikipedia.

We did but there is nothing to comment about or weird about that... or do you disagree?

O, Google is racist. FFS, someone has to say it.
