Sure enough, buried in my account was a list of every single command sent to Alexa devices I own, all dated and time stamped, along with the recordings. Two of them stood out and were the reason I immediately disabled them all and have never used one since.
On two recordings, I suspect I said something (I have a fairly strong Northern English accent) that the device heard as 'Alexa) and it began to record. In both cases, it was private telephone calls with family.
That was the end for me and this new measure from Amazon is even more disturbing. Nope.

The Alexa I have sitting next to me is not called Alexa. That way there is a lot less chance of accidentally triggering it when it's not supposed to be triggered, Also, there is a setting in the Alexa app to turn off saving of recordings.
The South Park Alexa episode is a very good reason to rename your Alexa.
