This is a good case for why system bots/messages/etc. shouldn't be given regular names (and perhaps distinguished through other means too); if the error was instead "Username cannot contain 'discord'", it'd be more obvious.
I feel bad for all the Alexas and the few Siris out there that have had their names hijacked my a couple of the biggest companies on the planet.

I also feel bad for that Google kid I knew in high school. People were always asking him where to find stuff. He thought that changing his name from Alta Vista would stem the tide. Tragic.

Written like that Google suddenly looks like geniuses.
Well, the verbification of the word google introduces its own difficulties there. The ideal would be for the voice assistant to have some completely unique word, ideally with sound combinations that are very rare in your native language. And if for some reason, that still doesn't work for you, have a way to change it. Or maybe just not have a default, and require users to pick their own keyword.
I can't think of many words that rhyme with computer so would get picked up.
