Strongly advise off buying/placing the new Lin-Z (Alexa) object until a patch fix. Or at the very least, copy your save to your desktop before you do -- you might need it!

For specifics, it seems (if I understand this right on only one coffee) that the issues are:

• Travelling to a lot that has one
  
• Deleting one
  
• Putting one in your inventory
  

The fixes available are:

• Going back to a pre-using-the-thing save. Which is not ideal.
  

If you have not yet had this error but do have a Lin-Z, you can try deleting it, saving, exiting, and then deleting the localthumbcache file. This has been reported to work by some people to remove the Lin-Z from relationships.

Edited with details from @crinrict :

The main problem are visitors atm. They seem to form some kind of pseudo relationship with LinZ as soon as they enter the lot/room. If you delete LinZ when that has already happened, those Sims will be borked and I haven't found a way to save those
If you didn't have any visitors, make sure all your Sims in the household have a relationship you can see in the panel, before deleting it.
If you delete it and one or more SIms have a pseudo-relationship, the lot becomes unloadable
Same happens if you move it to the household iunventory
