I have basically stopped using Alexa in my house. It started as a vision for an intelligent personal assistant, and what we ended up with is a glorified kitchen timer that reads out Amazon ads all day.

“By the way, sign up for Amazon music.”

“Tip your Amazon driver.”

No thanks.

I wish they had actually done something with the tech rather than promptly handing it over to the marketing team once it got some users. I’m trying to think of a single major improvement to the experience since it first launched a decade ago, but am coming up empty.
