The first time I heard one of those “I can also” lines, I lost interest in ever purchasing an Alexa or frankly any Amazon home product.

Shame the amount of engineering effort that went into that system, only for it to be destroyed by absurd business strategy. I’m sure a couple PMs got a “level 2 to level 3” promotion out of it or something.



I usually just cut her off and cuss at her. I'm hoping Amazon is tracking how frequently people verbally assault Alexa to optimize the UX, but that's probably wishful thinking.
