Virtual assistants can’t seem to resist going over the same information again and again. Ask a question, get an answer, and then ask something related — suddenly you’re trapped in a loop of near-identical replies.

This isn’t just a glitch; it’s baked into how they handle uncertainty and try to cover all bases. When they detect ambiguity, they default to repetition as a safety net, hoping you’ll catch the nuance.

It’s like having a conversation with someone who’s both eager to help and a bit paranoid about missing details. The result? A series of echoes that can be both reassuring and mildly maddening.

Maybe we should start applauding their persistence rather than complaining about it. After all, repetition is the AI version of a nervous tic.
