Amazon pulls the plug on Alexa's celebrity voices, no refunds given.

Amazon is discontinuing its celebrity voices for Alexa, including Samuel L. Jackson, Shaquille O’Neal, and Melissa McCarthy. The voices were available for purchase at a low price, but Amazon will no longer support them on Alexa devices. The feature allowed users to ask questions, hear jokes, or listen to a story in the style of the celebrity voice. It is unclear why Amazon has decided to discontinue the feature, but it could be due to the company's broader Alexa woes, including operating losses and layoffs.
