to think if I ask Alexa what the date is, it shouldn't try to sell something to me

[chomalungma]

Asked Alexa what the date was.
I got the answer, Then a 'by the way, I can order top rated items for you such as headphones, just ask me and I'll do it'.

What next?

If I ask the time, will it say 'I can order you a watch if you want'

@chomalungma

I bc switched to Brief Mode when Alexa said it “would be nice to know your name Alexa, open the door. Sorry, I can't open the door, Chomalungma.

Alexa, open the door.

Brilliant!

(and yes I get the reference)

@Youngatheart00,

Honestly, she’ll do wet ones, long ones, dangerous ones, she’ll suggest different kinds and ask you if you’d like to hear them!

You can also ask her to fart like ‘friend’s name’...perhaps something to do on a wet afternoon when there’s nothing on the telly?😉🌈

You realise you can turn all that off @chomalungma ?

If you cannot just get a calendar and put it on the wall somewhere, I have little sympathy for you. Data mining issues aside.

I just asked her what time it is and she answered me with the time and wished me a good afternoon.

I just came out with it and asked her what I should buy.

Didn't tell me anything - except she said I could add things to a list if I wanted to.

An opportunity missed.

I say ‘Alexa shut up and stop selling me shit’

It stops straight away

Luckily Alexa isn't linked to my lights or my front door.

Otherwise she might take it personally
