Amazon (AMZN.O) is planning a major revamp of its decade-old money-losing Alexa service to include a conversational generative AI with two tiers of service and has considered a monthly fee of around $5 to access the superior version, according to people with direct knowledge of the company’s plans.

    I’m not sure that’s true. There’s a pause option and a cancel option. It sounds like canceling ends your benefits immediately, and the pause leaves them. I want to cancel, but at the right time.

      It’s absolutely true, my friend. Only takes a minute.

      They just wanna scare you out of cancelling.

        Well, I’ve set the reminder. There’s no urgency to cancel with 6 months left on the clock.

      I’m not sure that’s true.

      Well, I’m sure it’s true. I’ve started and stopped Prime benefits multiple times.

      It’s true, I canceled mine last year. I also haven’t missed it, if I need things from Amazon I just have to spend over 35 for free shipping, and while it’s slower it really doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it might.
