That’s cute and all, but it’s also pretty much what Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Spotify and all the other tech giants are doing when they’re joyfully tracking what people are doing without their knowledge or consent.
They are in love with the ability to make her happy, and bond emotionally.
Tech companies are in love with the ability to analyze your emotional state so they can exploit it trough business offers giving them more money.
While still a tad creepy that she doesn’t officially know, They and them are not the same.
(Edit: They because OP is not the author)
That’s really sweet
Derivative! Downvoted!
People downvote for a very wide variety of reasons, many of which don’t really have anything to do with the story. For for example, someone might downvote because they don’t like posts that are just screenshots from reddit. Or maybe they don’t like the brands mentioned in the story. Or maybe they’ve seen it before and don’t want to see it again. Or maybe they’re just in a bad mood and are voting harshly. Or maybe it is about the story, and they think its creepy. Or maybe it reminds them of a bad memory.
In any case, it should never be surprising when a post gets some downvotes. The more people who see it, the more likely it is that someone will have some issue with it.
(And of course, complaining about downvotes almost always results in downvotes.)

This is because we have a Google home which is linked to my Spotify account.
Cute story… this is an advertisement, even if it was not the author’s intent. I enjoy human connection and mawwiage as much as the next guy, but we can have a better story with post-google open source alternatives.
“Will you be my Spotify Duo… til death do us part?” I texted her, over my Google Pixel 3 Watch
sniffle “Of course my love. Nike, Just Do It™” she said, between sips of her new Folger’s dark mountain blend with new hazelnut flavor.
“Based, fam” And then they Uber off into the sunset.

She’s your sister?
You got an open source alternative to Google home/Amazon Echo? I’d buy it.
Home Assistant has voice controls, but I have t had a chance to use them. I’ve heard really good things tho, just waiting on real hardware vs making my own.
Home assistant’s default, basic voice stuff is pretty bad. It works well if you either integrate proprietary models into it, or run your model own locally. The former is proprietary and the latter is rather expensive. Sure people will tell you you can run smaller models on basic hardware, but those are… not very capable or responsive. It takes some setting up either way.
I don’t know, it feels creepy to me. I think she should know.
