    It most likely is. And if it’s not your phone, then it’s your car (assuming it has been built in the last few years)

    Yeah, that’s really creepy. I would only want the phone to listen when I actually ask it a question, not 24/7.

      If the phone does not listen 24/7, then how does it know when you are asking a question? It should discard all information until the wake up word is called in theory. Only way it could work if you have to press a button to start listening to your question. This was the case in the past, however people wanted to ask questions while showering or something since they introduced this “improvement”.

        If the phone does not listen 24/7, then how does it know when you are asking a question?

        I pushed the microphone button on the keyboard editor when I want the microphone to listen to me.

        For example, when I comment here on Lemmy, I use the voice-to-text option to type out my comments, via the microphone.

        It should discard all information until the wake up word is called in theory.

        But even with always-on listening mode, it shouldn’t actually be taking any of your data for advertising (or legal issues for that matter) and using it, unless you explicitly authorize it to do so.

        And it has to be very explicit, not buried down in some long multi-page license somewhere that only a knowledgeable lawyer would be able to know and find.

        Oh, and you should be able to opt-out of that mode as well.
