Annoying assistant

Since when did the assistant's response to the phrase "Never mind" quit working? Now instead of it stopping whatever it was doing, it gives me details about Nirvana's second album. I didn't mention anything about Nirvana or music or anything else, I just said "Never mind".

There is so much annoying, STUPID stuff this assistant does that it's hard to believe that bored designers aren't playing tricks.

I've never used "nevermind", instead "cancel" was my go-to way to cease her response. Or on Nest Mini you can press and hold the volume up or down area of the speaker.

Thanks, and "stop" works too. It's just annoying that I HAVE used "never mind" for years and it worked fine until recently.
