I don't allow Alexa or Google... whatever... in my house. For a while
one of my wife's relatives wanted to run pictures of the extended family
continually through our living room TV, using the Google version of
Alexa. I kept unplugging it and they finally gave up and took the damn
thing away. I didn't even know that's what they were using for the
"slide show" that until I started to play music on my Android phone, and
it wanted to broadcast it on the Google Alexa thing. That's when I
started unplugging it.

I'm not very vocal. Except for my biweekly appearance in the office I can
go days without uttering anything beyond 'Hey, white cat' when she shows
up for food. Talking to some piece of hardware isn't going to happen.
Maybe if I'm working one something and it's not going well but I don't
know how Alexa would respond to a stream of incoherent obscenities.
