This makes sense based on my experiences with Alexa.
Starting in the last two years it has increasingly, and aggressively, started “advertising” skills and products following a voice request. So much so that I began looking into alternative voice engines.
Now I know why it was ramping up so quickly.
- kkielhofner 4y agoWhat I want from Alexa: “Alexa, do this” Done. What I get from Alexa: “Hi there, let’s have a conversation where I pester you about products and ask questions about other things I can do, etc.”
- dzhiurgis 4y agoWonder if Alexa could predictively suggest ordering from uber eats? Like - "You had a long day, shall I order pad thai for you?"

- cwilkes 4y ago“Alexa set timer for 8 minutes” “Done. By the way did you know that ….” Jesus I just want to set a timer not be enlightened about some crappy skill that a pushy PM that’s going up for promo is trying for force engagement with.
- last_responder 4y agoThis is my issue with it. I have all the big three and Alexa was trying to sell me something every 3rd interaction. Its sits in a drawer.
