...make everyday tasks easier, like filling a coffee pot, a child’s sippy cup, or a dog bowl

OK, we officially reached ultimate uselessness and stupidity for Internet-connected devices. Only these technology geeks could take something as simple as filling a child's sippy cup a LOT more complicated and then aver that they were making that most simple of all tasks easier. These people are insane.

How would a faucet differentiate between different size “sippy” cups ?

Most lazy people just tell their kids to fill their own sippy cups.
And the kids do.

It’s how I felt when I found stalks of trimmed celery in the grocery store - seemed like it had taken someone much trouble and resources to clean, trim and bag celery to “save” customers 30 - 50 seconds.

I believe claims that Alexa can “help” you are just a marketing ploy to get you to buy these things. Then Alexa can “help” you monitor precisely your water usage and if you exceed “reasonable” limits, Alexa CAN STOP YOU.

Alexa in countless devices records conversations that are monitored and replayed by staff, and in some areas, are relayed to police. It’s surveillance thinly disguised as convenience. Convenient surveillance items with a bow on top.
