      Your rebuttal makes no sense.

      The issue with proprietary “smart” assistants is that we can only guess how they work.

      No but I do review code audits that certified professionals publish for things that I use when they are available, and I also don’t use any voice assistants and only use open source smartphone ROMs such as GrapheneOS.

      Basically I use the opsec methods available to me to prevent as much of the rampant spying that I can. The last thing I would do is put an open mic to Amazon’s audio harvesting bots in my home because that’s incredibly careless.
