A troubling bug in Amazon Alexa Plus has caused frustration for users of Amazon Echo smart speakers, as some of them are limited to saying — and sometimes singing — only 'babbling' repeatedly for minutes, often during conversations with users. When users ask Alexa about this behavior, the digital assistant seems completely unaware of what's going on, which adds to users' frustration.
