      Why would they need to listen? That’s a lot of processing power for information we already give them. They don’t need to listen, honestly. They get more information from us than we verbally communicate.

        But… why would they care? It’s your energy bill, not theirs.

        I think about this every time I see a random thing I have never heard of before and go to search for it and autofill has the exact phrase I wanna search after typing only 1 or 2 letters. It either reads text on the screen or listened to me say to myself “what the hell is yadda yadda?” because how else would it know I had a really good chance of searching “what is yadda yadda” after only typing “wh?” The yadda yadda part could have been anything, but it still managed to predict the exact thing I was gonna look for.

      I always just thought it was the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon at work… but who knows, I could be wrong.
