Has this happened to anyone here?

My grandson heard his four-year-old daughter talking to someone in the kitchen but there's no one else in the house.

He walks in and finds her having a very involved conversation with "Alexa". I mean as though it was a real person. On one hand, perfectly harmless, on the other hand kind of creepy.
