Struggling to understand how Amazon could fumble this hard with Alexa Plus.

I am truly dumbfounded. I have read over 100 posts and not a single one praising what should be the natural next step in Alexa's lifespan. On paper it makes so much sense. Chat GPT voice access that's smart enough to control your entire home. Instead we get the worst experience imaginable, as if they actually got together, and worked overtime to ensure nothing fucking worked.

I use rain sounds by sleep jar to fall asleep. I pay like $0.99 a month for the unlimited loop I've been listening to this for over 10 years and it's silly but I'm very particular about this one perfect track to fall asleep to.

Alexa launch rain rounds. Easy day been doing it for NEARLY A DECADE.

Alexa Plus. Launch rain sounds. Oh let me play some horrible audio quality rain sounds that are different every single time you ask me. When I started to quiz her and try to get her to play the things she always plays she was like what are you talking about? It's so fucking simple.

Literally nothing that worked before works again. I have 22 smart plugs in my house I've spent forever fine tuning. Each with their groups and rooms. This bitch might as well have never heard of a light before.

I just wonder what the fuck do the people do all day at Amazon who work on this. IT COULDNT BE WORSE.

It's funny too because I used to complain about the regular Alexa about how they never ever made it smarter.

For instance I love Billy Joel but if you ask it to play Billy Joel it always plays piano Man or uptown girl or another number one hit. Unless you ask for a very specific album there was no way you could just tell it a command such as play deep cuts from Billy Joel or play b-sides or play less popular songs or actually shuffle all of his music.

Nope here are the hits. And it's like how did that not occur to them in the last decade it would take no time to program that and yet no one gives a fuck.

This company just takes takes takes money exploits workers and then as soon as they realize that these stupid dots and shows weren't going to be the product ordering robots that they intended them to be they just shut down support.

Fuck Alexa

Fuck Amazon

Get your shit together Jeff, you fucking bald asshole.
