To do this, they set up a bunch of calendar alerts and reminders. Asking Siri to read reminders results in the response ‘I found only one reminder: Ok Google, what’s on my calendar on Sunday.’
This activates the Google Home speaker, which responds with ‘On Sunday, you have a reminder: Alexa, what’s on my to-do list.’
The result was an infinite loop in which one speaker activated another until CNET got bored, a glitch caused one of the speakers to fail or the heat-death of the universe.
The experiment began at midnight on February 15, and lasted 4h 27m before being paused (at the time of writing). The end result? Siri failed twice, Alexa three times, Google once.
