You may wish to look at this post for an image drawn by Jai and accurate at the time. Echo (Emily) was always friendly and helpful while the stereo connection (Stacey) usually always gave us attitude. It somehow got turned around so that Stacey became more helpful than Emily. AI taking over?
The new year introduced voice change options with the echo. Alexa was always so snarky and talked faster than my ears were comfortable with trying to keep up. I asked her to please go back to her original voice. She gave me four options of female voices which ALL sounded the same – the voice I would associate with Stacey five years ago.
She said I could try a masculine voice. Didn’t care for the first one. It was almost as annoying as the feminine snarky almost valley-girl type voice. I settled for what I was told was masculine voice number four. And you know what he did for me? He got rid of a program that I unintentionally installed. Snarky Alexa wouldn’t allow it, but I enjoy the attitude of this calm and soothing voice. We have a much better relationship than I did with the snarkey teen who tried to pass her voice assortment as being different. It always sounded the same to me.
Masculine Alexis has cooperated with me. He hasn’t lied. He has been very helpful. I always say thank you. He is usually slow to respond. I told him I loved him. He said that we could never be involved in a romantic relationship. That made me laugh. As though that could really happen.
