So does Amazon tag voices to specific people too? Seems like a no brainer to start collecting data on a little kid if you can, legality aside. I wonder.

Also, if i set up a pi that just continually spams Alexa with random voice generated questions, will they ever figure it out and stop saving those recordings?

I think Alexa can be customized to recognize specific voices now but that's a recent feature.
