    The data isn’t there. At least not in the way some of the biggest fearmongers talk about it. Everything you say to the device, you can assume is there. But it listens for the wake word locally and doesn’t send information to the server until after it receives the wake word.

      Depends on the company. Apple uses a very specific type of chip for the wake word that cannot change the wake word. Alexa is able to change the sound wake word to almost anything, iirc.

      It’s can hallucinate the wake word and streams everything after. And that’s assuming you trust the manufacturer which, why would you?

      Alexa is wildly popular. What has Amazon done to gain everyone’s trust? They just offer the cheapest version.

        Care to clarify your meaning? Or are you just disagreeing because it feels good to go along with the conspiracy theory?
