Google Home/Assistant changed my name (funny)

GGoftheNorth — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 19:02:17 GMT

I use my Google assistant and a smart device to operate my barbecue gas valve, and one of my routines is “Hey Google, I’m done barbecuing” and it shuts off the gas valve and turns off the light in my outdoor pergola. It’s worked flawlessly all summer. Suddenly the other day, I woke up and said “Hey Google, good morning” and it started off saying, “Good morning, done barbecuing….”(YouTube video link ) I know it’s hilarious but how did this happen? I live alone and nobody has access to my app so I don’t think anyone has played a trick on me.
