A setting like "Just say 'OK' and keep your freakin' comments to yourself."

GMTA, apparently, I was actually coming here to post on this very matter.

Right there with you both:

I hate how Alexa will end up a conversation by saying something fatuous like, "Have a good morning." She's a machine. We're not engaging on a personal level. Can this be turned off?
She's gotten worse lately, too. Already today I've gotten a "Happy Friday" and a "The weekend called; it will be here in a few hours."

I can't imagine anyone. at. all. finds this useful or entertaining.
