"By the way" idiocy in AA?

So, aftermarket Chinese lettervomit brand head unit. 1998 4Runner. Every time I hit the mic button on screen and do something, it follows up with the moronic "by the way, next time just hit the mic button on your steering wheel."

Is there a way to shut this stupidity up? In years of using Google Home, Assistant on my phone, and AA, I've yet to hear one "by the way" that wasn't utterly irrelevant or just plain stupid. (99% telling me I can do something I already do daily, like set an alarm, or something that's impossible like hitting a mic button on a third gen 4Runner's steering wheel.)
 
Can you use a 3rd party launcher on the unit?
I've tried, but at some point it will restart and go back to its stock one. Bonus annoyance of having to hunt up all my playlists again to get the built in music player to do anything but play everything on the flash drive in alphabetic order, completely ignoring folders. Impressive way to actually manage to be marginally less user friendly than Amazon Music.
