All of the “virtual assistants” are tools to spy on the user around the clock. You don’t even need to say “hey Siri” first anymore, just state your question with “siri” inserted in the question. That means that the AI being used is monitoring the voices and sounds in your environment constantly.

Wow. That’s chilling. Quite a strong caveat.

Stupid to allow this...JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION.

Every once in a while, Siri randomly transcribes what I say, and then responds either with "I do not understand the question," or "Here's what I found on the web." On other occasions, I have been talking about something, for example, a rock band. Then I pick up my iPad to look for more information and that rock band appears as a search suggestion when I type the first letter.

Yes, AI is listening to every word we say. And it is tracking every place we go. A security expert told me that if I am traveling out of country, to use my credit card when possible so that if I disappear and can't be tracked, at least law enforcement has a record of where I last used my credit card.

As for the fact that I am constantly tracked, I don't worry too much about it. It isn't like anyone is actually stalking my every movement. I doubt any human ever looks at that stuff, except as aggregate data.
