Everyone will write scripts before they sit down at dinner.
After each of my parents died, I was overjoyed to find tapes of each of them from accidental recordings (answering machine, cellphone). I don’t trust Prego/LoC, but the sound of my parents, voices gives me peace.
I make my own marinara/Pomodoro sauce from scratch, so I donโt think this will affect me very much. Thankfully.
Back in my old neighborhood, I had an Italian potluck dinner party with about 10 neighbors and we were whooping it up - lots of wine and laughing. Dinner was amazing and at some point we heard people talking nearby so we all stopped our conversations. My Alexa device had recorded our conversations and was playing it back to us unprompted. I unplugged all of the devices and we continued the party. Now, I keep them unplugged unless I need a wake up call.

“Is your spaghetti sauce spying on you?”
Prego is terrible sauce. Make your own.
Oh, okay. Trustworthy for sure..... Just like AI is always right.

Well, that’s some crazy stuff right there...
But given the millions of stupid narcissists across the world that post their every random thought or action to Facebook, TikToc, ‘X’, etc. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised.
If it was cheap enough, I might buy one just for parts to hack/reverse engineer, but I’d keep it in a soundproofed Faraday cage as long as it was operable.
People are narcissistic idiots. Never liked Prego, way too much sugar. Now I have another reason to keep avoiding it.

My marinara starts with starting seeds in the early spring/late winter.

I am sure some of the conversation would be discussing how Prego sauce tastes like crap compared to Noniโs gravy. Because THAT needs to be kept and archived forever.
One’s “permission” is simply to induce the thought that one can maybe turn it off, too. If the capability is there, it can be accessed remotely and if it can broadcast anything at all it is doing that right out of the box and while it is still in the box.

I've seen some comments about this around the dark web. Apparently the firmware is lousy with spaghetti code. And...
