Are there any of you wondering if these devices are constantly listening? How do they process voice data, do they work locally or are they cloud-based? What should we be cautious about in terms of privacy? What do we need to know before using them?
How reliable are smart voice assistants?

Ugh, I'm still struggling to set up my PC properly and I'm already asking "Hey Siri, how do I turn off the monitor?" 😅 No payloads available, I guess?
Right now I'm like "oh great, a newbie," and they pick up on the slightest sound and try to get my mom to call me 😅 Privacy policies might be 20 pages long, but you can't proceed without hitting that "agree" button... They say it's "local" or whatever, but I can't find the setting so my device is constantly getting lost on the map 🤦♂️
I really worry about an important issue related to the adaptive learning of voice assistants. When I first used them, I was quite confused about "What is it recording?" but after checking the device manufacturer's privacy settings, I felt a bit more at ease.
