Do we have a trope for the type of gag in which a person using a digital assistant of some sort, similar to Google's Siri or Amazon's Alexa, but their voice commands are always misunderstood.
For example, in Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, Drac tells his smartphone that he wants to go on a date, but instead she tells him the day's date.
The LEGO Movie also uses this gag in which Benny asks the computer in the villain's lair to deactivate the shields, and instead it tells him that there are no movies with that title showing in his area.
