How hard is it to just touch the freaking thing to confirm? I mean, how much time is saved, 1.283 seconds?



I mean if you use this logic the whole Alexa thing immediately becomes useless anyway. It's all about extreme convenience and reducing the friction between "I want X" to "Amazon please chove X into my face" to a minimum.


"Waaa it's inconvenient waaa why can't it obey any voice it hears waaa my neighbour bought a lot of crap using my Alexa then got the packages off my porch waaa why didn't they do something?!"


Should be good for at least a few dozen opinion pieces in online tech pubs about how Alexa isn't really a voice assistant any longer.
