  I love being able to dictate a grocery list but god damn is she stupid.

  Good luck asking for cream cheese and chive crackers without ending up with cream cheese as one item and chive crackers as another. Or worse peanut butter and honey crackers as peanut butter and then honey crackers

      The problem is that Alexa isn’t actually parsing the meaning of the total phrase, she’s taking each individual word as it comes. With that context, she would just as easily interpret your phrasing as “thing with thing on the side”. You’d still get chive crackers, honey crackers, peanut butter, and cream cheese.

        Yeah I had the same realization as I was reading this:
        you can not add Boolean terms and expect it to not separate it.

        So run on nonsense sentences are your friend and will definitely make the training from you so much more useful.
