Our reading
Alexa can now manage your subscriptions, which is impressive until you realize it’s just a more polite way of saying ‘you still have to remember to pay for things.’
The update suggests that the most advanced AI in your home can’t actually stop you from buying things you don’t need, but it can help you reorganize the ones you already have.
Amazon’s latest move is less about convenience and more about making sure you never forget that you’re still paying for everything.
