Yeah, but at least the derailment came with a quality soundtrack!
I have a small beef with Alexa at the moment. I had to resort to asking Siri a question because Alexa couldn't answer, "How many weeks are left in this year?"
Siri got the answer from Wolfram Alpha. Alexa just threw up her virtual hands and shrugged. "Thanks anyway, Alexa. Play the Very Best of the Rat Pack." (Yes, I've adapted to speaking to her in a way that triggers her conversationally. I'm a dork.)
Not a huge deal, but it bugged me a bit. I'm not Siri's biggest fan. I use her when I'm not home, but she often adds to her weather reports when I'm least in the mood for it. "Brrrr! It's cold in Nashville!" "Dammit, Siri, I just asked for the current weather, not your commentary on how cold it is."
