Was sitting around having a conversation with the wife, when all of a sudden I heard my smart phone make a noise. So I picked it up to see what was up.
The Google assistant had been promted even though no one in the room had given the app the appropriate command be it "hey Google" or "ok Google" when it did what it did. So I looked upon picking the phone up, and it had brought up a few web pages in an attempt to figure out what we might have been looking for, even though we weren't looking for anything.
Hmmmm I thought. So then I went to audio recordings in my Google activity, and it had two recordings sitting there. I clicked on one of the recordings, and I couldn't believe my ears. It was a recording of me and the wife's conversation without our knowledge or anyone prompting it to record like it did..
It had some other form of activating excuse it gave, but I thought do what ?? I only agreed to "ok Google" or "hey Google". So what's this other method I didn't remember or know anything about ??
Anyone else experienced this ?? How can we trust technology like this ?? It's crazy.
Had to manually delete the bullcrap.
