I love how little I desire to use my Alexa Dot simply because of how much she babbles on and on. I flipped on “brief response” mode and still it will be “hey Alexa play this song” and she’ll play it then go “did you know with Amazon you can blah blah blah spend more money with us…”
A longer Alexa sentence != longer engagement time, which I don’t think they’ve figured out yet.

- leppr 5y agoWow that's rich. I already thought the purely functional action confirmations of the Google home are too annoying, but Amazon Alexa straight up tries to re-engage their users and people put up with it?
- CodeMage 5y agoGoogle Home does it too. Every once in a while, it gives me the action confirmation and then proceeds to give me advice along the lines of "and by the way, if you ever want me to [do this or that]". If I try to interrupt that charter, it cancels the whole command. I can't find a way to disable that behavior.
- alexatalktome 5y agoHeard from support that replying with negative responses are likely to shut it up. They track the rate of negative feedback and high negative feedback will kill it over time.
