At first, it seemed like a pretty useful device, but as time has gone on, Alexa has become increasingly problematic. It seems to have trouble understanding even basic commands. How many times have you asked Alexa to do something, only to have it respond with something completely irrelevant? Like it is regressing, which is curious.
The fact that Alexa is always listening, even when you're not talking to it, is straight up creepy. Also just plain annoying. Do we really need a robot voice constantly interrupting our conversations and playing cheesy music on command?
But perhaps the most frustrating thing about Alexa is its constant attempts to upsell us on Amazon products. Every time you ask it for something, it tries to sell you on a product that you didn't ask for. It's like having a pushy salesperson in your own home.
