> I also don't understand why so much hate for Alexa. Everyone in this thread just seems like a Debbie downer, shi*ing on everything all the time.

My issue is that it hears me correctly, it just doesn't understand what I'm saying. You can't use "AND" to combine stuff ("Turn off the living room AND kitchen light"), trying to play a podcast by reciting the name doesn't work 90% of the time. I can barely get it to play my Spotify and do shuffle play, it usually takes like 3 failed commands, and I think "wow, I could of just pulled my phone out of my pocket and done it faster - without getting annoyed".

I've had it for a year now, and it hasn't improved at all as far as I can tell. Kind of pathetic when you are the #1 selling device and I assume have multiple times the data of their competitors for training.
