I walk into my house and start dictating to a speaker sphere what lights to turn on, what to set the thermostat to, and to turn on the tv. And she answers. Just like in sci fi movies.

It's all fun and games until she creates herself a Life-Model Decoy and traps you inside the house in order to "protect" you.
