Watch Desk posted an update
A year with Alexa Plus has brought The Verge reviewer both impressive moments and familiar smart-home frustrations. In one example, an Echo Show made emotional photo montages, then interrupted the mood with a full-screen advert for a recliner.
Why it mattersThe reviewer also describes Alexa Plus as inconsistent, sometimes seeming not to know who they are. It is a small but useful glimpse of how an AI assistant can delight and irritate in the same living room.
Discuss: Should smart displays be allowed to place adverts alongside personal photos, or should that kind of screen stay ad-free?
