I Got A Stupid Alexa!

Annabellethecat66 · ‎03-12-2010

Just about everything I ask this THING she says, "I'm sorry, I don't know the answer". Good grief!

I just said, "Alexa! When do the Redskins play their first game?" She says, "I'm sorry....I don't know the answer".

I say, "Alexa! Are you stupid". She says, "I'm still learning".

I bought one for my daughter....her's is smart. It does everything! Leave it to me to get the dumb one!

I've had my Alexa for quite some time now and don't consider her stupid at all. However, she doesn't know the answer about the Redskins game either. But she sure has the answer to plenty of other questions!

Now, that's funny!

I'm sure they are all the same. You probably need to do the voice training exercises so she can understand you better.

Also, it depends on how you ask the question. If she doesn't understand, try asking in a different way.

My Alexa is smarter than me! LOL

I love her!!!

Ask her "how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood".

@Annabellethecat66 If you say Washington Redskins she answers. I just tried it. Like I said, sometimes you need to ask in a different way or be more specific.

I get the same answers when I ask my husband a question!!!

Ask her why she can't answer any of your questions.

I do not understand why anyone would pay so much for this Alexa? Can't you just google the question for free? I am sure this product just gets the answers off of Google. It is like the new pet rock. Making the inventor lots of money for a stupid product.

@Annabellethecat66, I feel your pain! There are a lot of times I ask Alexa things, she doesn't know the answer. Sometimes I ask Siri questions, she also doesn't always know. I think you have to speak clearly and simply for Alexa to get it.
