Is it possible to have Siri and Alexa respond to "Computer" as a name so I can Star Trek nerd my world?

Or maybe Jarvis or Friday?

Or maybe put Spader's voice in their place instead and call it Ultron?

I really want to be able to just say "computer" and ask for things and then share the formula for transparent aluminum.

Any real nerd worth his salt would've asked Alexa or Siri this question.

Normally being bad at being a nerd would be a good thing but in your case it's just a pathetic fail.

Had computer as wake word for years. However when watching star trek my Alexa gets confused. Doesn't know where the nearest dilithium mine planet in this sector of the Galaxy is

i have a black friend that changed his roomba to ***** . then would use alexa to tell the ***** to clean.

Surprisingly, no real filters one what you can name things and then tell smart devices what to do.

And risk it singing that creepy version of Daisy to me and refusing to open the pod bay doors?

No thanks.
