    (also I’m fvcking tired of privacy extremists on here. if something is proprietary it doesn’t mean that it uploads literally everything to the server, on-device processing is still a thing y’know)

      Unfortunately even if this is initially processed locally, there’s a significant risk that results and/or samples are still sent back. manufacturers have shown on multiple occasions that the allure of data they can leverage is too much to resist.

      Somebody mentioned their Google Takeout (export of Google data) contained audio of them using the Google assistant. So Apple could technically do the same thing.

      I’m not a privacy extremist, I just want to understand how technology works and how you should be using things in order to be safe online.

        AFAIK this only happens if you agree to let Google store clips to train their speech recognition (which is optional)

        that only happens if you explicitly agree to uploading voice clips
