Google promised to keep data from the phone calls private.

    I already have a system where, if someone calls me, it’s probably a scam.

      If they leave a voicemail then its more legit but yea same here. I’d rather not have my phone calls be used as AI training.

        That’s how I know it’s real. If they don’t leave a message they don’t care enough. The only people I want to talk to are like my doctors offices. My friends and family text and message.

      I literally ignore all unknown numbers. I also ignore the doorbell if I don’t expect someone or something. If it is important then just send me a letter.

        One of the greatest moments in my life was when I was a young adult and realized I could just ignore someone at my door and leave them standing there. I didn’t invite your ass to just show up so fuck right off.

        Phone calls too. You better ask via text or something first if you expect me to stop what I’m doing to listen to your bullshit. Voicemail? Oh no, I never completed the setup so you can’t leave a message. So sorry!

          Uninvited visitors are the real world version of a pop up ad. They get zero consideration from me

    You mean the company that got rid of their previous motto of “do no evil”?

    Google already prevents 100% of the scams on my phone without doing this. I haven’t had any spam or scam calls in years.

    The company that sells your information to scammers has an idea on how to prevent them. What a load.

    Google exists to make money off of you. Unless you are actually paying them, you are the product. It’s that simple.

    Take with a grain of salt any claims they make about you regarding services they will offer you for free.

      Paying for a product doesn’t mean you are not the product. Corpos will double dip when they have the option.

      Modern cars collect huge amounts of data on their drivers despite the company making money from selling the car. Stores will sell your purchase history to advertisers. You can’t trust any one with data about you.

        Yes, excellent point. Realistically we should trust no one who stands to make money off of us, even if we are already giving them money.

    Google literally pays this fake news site to post these clown ideas to see how public reacts to them.

    Remember to not click that link :)

    Don’t feed the fake news machine, if Sundar the Creep wants your opinion, it can scrap it out of here

    It is truly a boring dystopia when we need AI to help protect ourselves against scammers. At least the overhyped buzzword found one application positive for humanity.

    Don’t worry everyone, I’m sure all the voice data will be anonymized.

    As much as this is a fucking privacy nightmare, if it were an Opt-in only service it could be a godsend for the vulnerable and elderly.

    I think they phrased that incorrectly. Don’t they mean Google wants their AI to listen in on your conversations and in return they’ll keep you safe. LOL.
