TL;DR
- Amazon Alexa has been exhibiting strange behavior.
- Users report that the assistant is getting stuck repeating the word “la.”
- Examples show Alexa repeating the word for several minutes before it stops.
Sometimes, AI assistants inexplicably start acting up out of nowhere. For example, Gemini was refusing to answer questions on Android Auto just last week. But Google isn’t the only company that’s been having problems with its AI assistant in recent days. Amazon’s Alexa has also been exhibiting rather strange behavior recently.
Over the last month, users have been sharing reports about an issue with Alexa. It appears the AI will get stuck repeating the word “la” over and over again. According to these reports, Alexa will continue saying this word for several minutes before it stops. You can check out an example of the error in the video below.
