What Sparked Jeff Bezos’ Ire Towards Alexa?
Jeff Bezos wasn’t happy, either. After the device failed to understand him, he told it to “shoot yourself in the head.” Afterward, the engineers went over the interactions to see how Doppler could be improved. After they spotted Jeff’s nasty comment, they thought the project was doomed to failure.
Fortunately, the engineers managed to pull Doppler back from the brink and improved its listening comprehension. Doppler eventually became the Alexa that we know and love today.
These days, Alexa is much better at recognizing what you say. In fact, you can now set Alexa to recognize different family member’s voices for a truly personalized experience.
