#Amazon users are livid over the Alexa AI Misinformation Slop Invasion features now contaminating many searches on the Amazon web site and app. This feature cannot be disabled completely without using 3rd party extensions, which on general principles I would not recommend on a shopping site where payment credentials and other personal information can appear. The Alexa sidebar replete with useless AI slop comments about your search and your prior purchase history can be closed, but will likely pop up again on another search. You can tell it to "f*ck off" and it claims it will go away, but of course it won't. Adding "-alexa" on search queries seems to suppress this Alexa AI feature, but may also cause valid searches to return zero results in error. Not all searches will trigger the Alexa AI. If you were looking for another reason to not use Amazon, you can add this sick nightmare intrusive AI Slop feature to your list.
