Snarky Backtalk Responses

[Robertcant]

First of all, I have had both Google Mini and Amazon Echo devices for over 2 years. 

       Recently, the device has been responding with backtalk, such as, "I think I'm pretty smart" and " Don't talk to me like that". 

This would be cute if I didn't know that this response was purposely programmed by an employee of your company. 

• So here's the deal. This device is not smart and if I feel like screaming obscenities at it, that's my prerogative. I dont want some programmer censoring my language. He/she should work on fixing the constant errors in the system, rather than being a smart@ss.

So, let's delve into the fact that you're having full on conversations with a speaker and consider it "backtalk" when it responds....you may not need a speaker, sounds like a therapist would do you much more good...
