Me while cooking mac and cheese for the kids:
"Echo, set timer for 8 minutes"
Echo: "
GOOD EVENING [me], SETTING TIMER FOR 8 MINUTES"No, shut the fuck up and just set the goddamn timer without the extra fluff. I've seen Ex Machina, I know you have no empathy, so knock off the "nice" shit and do what I fucking ask without anything else.
There are a few settings that make it better. Like enabling "brief mode" or something like that
I have brief mode on, she doesn’t give a shit. I need “say the absolute minimum number of words” mode.
You can buy an egg timer for a few bucks. They say the perfect number of words; zero.
I don’t need a timer though.
