    Why the hell can’t we just have both? One of the biggest problems with smart speakers and voice assistants is that they’re so damn stupid so often. If A.I. were to become smart enough to be what the current assistants/speakers aren’t, surely that would drive device sales and engagement astronomically higher right?

      We can’t have both because Alexa’s job is not to give customers a good experience, it’s to make them comfortable re-ordering Tide Pods with their voice.

      Even households with Prime and an eco in every room don’t trust that bitch with their credit card. Making her smart won’t fix that; she’s a failure.
