AI: Picky or Too Smart?

Is AI really picky about the conversations we have with it, or is it just Alexa?

Has anyone else had issues with their AI completely ignoring them, or even getting a little sassy with their responses? I can't be the only one.

I recently had an ant invasion. Somehow, the little freeloaders drilled their way into my pantry from outside the house. Naturally, I figured I'd ask Alexa what she recommended I do.

I asked her once... nothing.

Twice... nothing.

By the eighth time, I was convinced she was intentionally ignoring me.

In between, around the third, fifth, and seventh attempts, I asked, "Alexa, can you hear me?" She immediately replied, "Yes." Then I asked why she wasn't answering my question, and she told me I hadn't asked one.

Really?

Using the same tone, standing in the same spot, and asking the exact same question again... silence. I even reworded it a few different ways, and still nothing.

At this point, I'm starting to think she's messing with me. 😂

So, what do you think? Is AI really that smart, or does it sometimes just decide it doesn't feel like dealing with us?

I'd love to hear your funniest AI stories. Have you ever had your AI completely ignore you, misunderstand something in the most ridiculous way, or make you question who's really in charge?
