- Alexa on Amazon Echo Show devices has suggested users ask it what they can do with leftover drugs.
- Alexa routinely suggests feature hints and other information. These suggestions may be annoying, but they usually stick to SFW topics.
- In a statement, Amazon called this phenomenon “unfortunate errors” and said it is dedicated to “preventing similar situations in the future.”
