My various Echoes are a big CF now. She doesn't listen anymore without us yelling, there's a delay in her "answering" (the acknowledgment chime/blue ring) which sometimes results in multiple yells, and the wrong rooms are often hearing the wake word first. I'm not sure if this is a result of newer ones (echo gen 2/3, dot gen 3, show 8) working worse than the older ones, or something Amazon did to screw up / make worse the capability to intelligently perceive which one you are closer to.
Take me back to original gen 1 times when she listened, played music, and the hack to get her to turn on hue lights worked and it was awesome

Hunches has nothing to do with the excessive chatter. Hunches doesn't do anything unless you enable one.
Turning off "Things to Try" in the app does not affect Show devices and does not disable unsolicited "By the way" chatter on audio devices. There is also a "Things to Try" in device settings on Show, but it has no toggle there .. just a list of more "Things to Try."
