I'm reminded of a coworker who spoke to his device with an upward inflection when asking a question. He sounded like he was talking to a human when he prompted, "what time is it?" I told him he could ask in a flat tone because it's a computer and it doesn't care if he's polite. I don't remember how he responded, but I've run into that conversation with someone at least once after him when I was accused of being rude to Alexa.
