This is straight up dystopian level spying. Streaming microphone inputs all the time, knowing everything that is displayed on the screens via object recognition and stuff. Scraping your local network. If I’m not mistaken there is the possibility for the tv to connect to public/open networks to send this stuff without you knowing. Magically syncing with your phone. It’s truly terrible, and a class action is all but guaranteed to come. Gamers nexus has a great video on this.
- ranger_danger 8d agoThis is a known feature that is not hidden which is not automatically turned on by default. You must set your TV to a different standby mode and enable LG voice control. When you do this, it very plainly tells you that it can listen with the screen off so you can control the TV with voice. Failure of User Awareness, not some nefarious spyware.
- mitxela 8d agoNo, you're not up to date with the latest news. There's a separate feature that records you all the time, transcribes it to text and uses it to select ads for you
- ranger_danger 8d agoDo you have a source for this claim?
- mitxela 7d agoThe gamer's nexus investigation
- ranger_danger 6d agoThat is exactly what I am claiming is false. Later LG even came out with their own statement saying basically the same thing I did. What is this separate feature you claim that is not the same as the one I refer to?
