If AI is so good why is my Alexa so stoopid.

My favourite Google home irritation...

I get in the shower and say...
"hey Google tell me the news"
"Ok playing sky news"
Begins playing, still follow up listening.
News beings streaming "this is sky news at 530am...."
Prompts itself with a follow up query, "ok playing a Spotify play list called this is the news"

9 times out of 10 it'll do this I've turned off everything I can find related.

I have a very large bathroom/sauna/unused minigym incase you wondered

My Alexa seems to be getting worse over time. Having to repeat questions, coming up with less useful answers, not making sense when doing commands like turning lights on.

I had this happen to me and had a look and my cat had been nibbling on the power cable - the thing was running low on juice!
