Agreed that's annoying too - but in this case, the speech recognition worked fine (Alexa echoed back the "6 minute green beans timer"), but -- astonishingly -- instead of using a dirt-simple tool call to a timer (a primary use case for the device), it invented a different timer duration (maybe 12 minutes?) and when confronted about it, replied with utter nonsense about the timer being "too ambitious". I'm flabbergasted that in late 2026 such a ridiculous regression was deployed in production, let alone in my kitchen. I've always despised Alexa but tolerated it for the sake of my wife's preferences (esp for hands-free timers). But this is the last straw, it can't even do that.
