Karan Johar's uber-popular chat show, Koffee with Karan, has returned with its sixth season. The new show is now four episodes old with Sara Ali Khan-Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone-Alia Bhatt, Akshay Kumar-Ranveer Singh and Aamir Khan having graced the couch. Well, apart from exuding the regular awesomeness, KWK has a few new additions to the format. One of them being the omnipresent Google Home, which KJO uses to play the theme music and turn on the Rapid Fire Lights. And this is exactly where things get very very creepy. It almost feels like an episode of Black Mirror.

I started noticing this when I was watching Sara Ali Khan being all perky and cool on the fourth episode on my phone. When Karan said "Okay Google", my phone gave a prompt asking me to take an action. Super weird.

You see, every time Karan says "Okay Google" on the show, Google devices around the viewers also get triggered. Is this how technology takes over humanity?

Well, it was time for me to go to the internet for answers. And as it turns out, my Google device is not the only one behaving creepily while watching Koffee with Karan. Viewers have been complaining about their Google devices acting weirdly on Karan Johar's voice prompt since the beginning of the show.

This person vowed to watch the show on the phone only here onwards.

Google Home is starstruck

Seriously. So annoying!

Google Home doesn't even know what Rapid Fire Lights are!

Though it would be fun if our Google devices actually turned on Rapid Fire Lights somehow!

Are they really 'smart devices' is the question we all should be asking!

In case you are also facing the issue, you can report it to Google.

 

 

We do not think there is anything to worry about. It's just smart technology being hella stupid.

Or this is how the machine uprising begins?

Okay, Google. Stop creeping us out now!
