Agreed, I bashed the AI R&D but really I should be bashing the UX/dev environment. Adding new workflows and finding new apps should be 10x easier. Instead of asking me to add things to a cart they should recommend new ways to use the product.

Amazon has totally undersold the capabilities of their devices to users.

Idk if google is any better. I use Amazon because I love the firestick and I’m a big Audible user.
