I’m telling my Alexa to mind its own business?

Okay, please forgive me if this has already been posted but something has changed in my Alexa and I must have been signed up for some new AI something because I didn’t opt out. I say this because I just told my Alexa I have to go. This is the 3rd time today I said this. It’s to get out of talking to it. Why the fuck is it asking me so many questions? I tell it repeatedly it’s asking me too many questions and not to ask me questions. It’s fucking weird. And it says stuff like, “(referencing metacognition) “it’s a lot to wrap your head around huh?” And I say “no.” And it says “fair enough so do you just watch your feed or do you have news sources?” And continues whatever ridiculous convo. Can I get my old Alexa back? For context mine is a guy and he’s friendly. Too friendly. I had a woman before but I swear she’s was a bitch. One more weird thing, when a song is on and I say “Alexa who is this” it will say something about it being me or Alexa it doesn’t pick up that I mean who is singing the song and it has for YEARS told me WHO was singing till about 2 weeks ago.
