They not only listen, they record your conversations. Apparently in order to improve their word and command recognition...hmm really?

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but Alexa, Google, Siri and everything else designed to make our lives easier listen to everything so that it can be triggered when you call their name.
Somewhere buried in the terms and conditions that no one ever reads you give permission for it to do so. Unless you actively turn everything off, your entire search history, preferences and fuck know what else is stored to "improve the product"
Thats why I don't have anything voice activated and browse fab using Puffin browser.
We leak information everywhere! |

Yep, not only do we all willingly carry tracking devices around with us, we are now happy to install listening in devices into our homes...

"Sat here, on my own, no TV or radio on, deadly quiet with no words spoken, Then without prompting, Siri says "i'm listening" 
WTF is that about ?????"
I was listening to a radio programme about Siri/Alexa last week. They do listen and disseminate into algorithms.... a lot more than you think scary!!! |

"I don't even see how it can improve my existence, can someone who loves theirs please tell me what's so amazing about them. "
I've friends who have them. It's more a novelty and new party talk subject than improvement of any form of existence.
Was hard enough teaching my kids to respond, why do I want to start that again. |

You csn actually listen to what alexa keeps to review it.
Its shocking just how horrible/non human the computer interpretation of your voice is.
Its not like a recording its more like the minimum key data point its needs to get speech. Sound like a bad horror movie extra.
But meh im not really concerned by comercial use of information. Amazon can't arrest me |

As a radio/alarm clock they're great.
For other things not much use except maybe the weather.
But it can be handy for doing things like maths when cooking and you csnt touch your phone "alexa whats "30x14 plus 40" etc |

So another gaget to replace what your phone already does?
I use speech and voice recognition my phone already. Ask google search for different things, have an alarm, I've a few old ones lying around to  .
No seriously what additional things can it do? |
