‘When Alexa meet Alexa’: Viral video shows voice artist rumoured to be behind Amazon assistant confusing the AI
Whether or not Susan Caplin is the voice artist behind Amazon's Alexa has not been confirmed officially by the company.
When Alexa meet Alexa An old video showing Susan Caplin––rumoured to be the voice artist behind Amazon’s Alexa AI assistant– saying, “I am Alexa,” to the AI, sparking a comical back-and-forth with the device, has gone viral again.
The video begins with Caplin instructing, “Alexa, play my favourite playlist,” but instead of complying, the assistant can be seen saying, “You sound familiar. Who is this?”
Without missing a beat, Caplin says, “I am Alexa,” to which the virtual assistant fires back, “No, I am Alexa.”
The two then escalate into a playful standoff, both saying, “I said it first!” leaving viewers in stitches.
The video was posted on Instagram by Steve Nouri (@thestevenouri), CEO and Co-Founder GenAI Works, who wrote a long note in the caption. “Susan Caplin, the voice behind Amazon’s Alexa, is a familiar presence in millions of homes. Yet, despite the global recognition of her voice, she leads a low-profile life, far from the limelight,” he wrote.
