Even my dad, who never met a gizmo he didn’t like, is ready to throw the Echo out the window. But my father still has all his marbles, and he knew he should tell me about this. What about the vulnerable elderly who don’t have the necessary defenses to push back?
I’m both disgusted and a bit frightened. This needs to be exposed quickly. Suggestions welcome.

@ClimateJenny@biodiversity.social This is the rollout of the AI feature on Echo. You can ask it to disable the AI features and it will comply. However I've noticed a marked decrease in useful responses since switching my device to the default mode. I strongly suspect they are actively reducing the usability of the default mode.
