Could you imagine the world of shit Facebook/Google/Apple/etc would be in, if someone from their engineering team proved this was possible? People have claimed this NSA-style "listening in" has been happening for years, just to target ads, but there's never been a single shred of code to explain how it would be feasible, especially via an iPhone.
- legitster 3y agoGoogle's voice assistant can't even understand what I am saying when I am holding the phone up to my face and clearly pronouncing my question that I am asking directly. And then it spends a minute fussing while it compresses and uploads my voice to send across my crappy cell network. I'm supposed to believe that it's listening to my every word from my pocket on a noisy road with a half-dead battery? I think people just don't want to accept that: 1. We fall into very basic trends and interests that are very predictable based on age and gender and expressed interests 2. We do so much mindless scrolling and are not aware of all of the random content we see until we get something that triggers a memory.
