I also keep a sticky note over the camera on my computer.

[ElenaSeluna]

Yeah.. some people do that

[exitseven]

I have an alexa but she was spying on me I unplugged her.

[ElenaSeluna]

Alexa is suspicious for sure

[exitseven]

I thought she was working for the Biden administration.

[ElenaSeluna]

🤣🤣

No I don't I meant to Vote no 📱 lol

And I'm amazed people are copying me all these years later. I never fell for earbuds / wireless.

Now look at me being a trendy influencer ahahaha - someone's being reading my vibes + this news article I only discovered tonight www.whathifi.com/.../i-traded-my-award-winning-wireless-earbuds-for-a-pair-of-trendy-wired-earbuds-is-being-stylish-worth-the-sonic-sacrifices

I was wearing wire apple earphones on my android devices for years 🫢👀 and counting

[Lliam]

No. I don't want them to spy on me. I don't have any SMART devices in my home for that reason. I drive an older car for that reason, too.

SMART stands for "self-monitoring, analysis, reporting technology".
I don't want my activities and conversations monitored, recorded, analyzed and reported.

[DryGermanGuy]

I wouldn't have such a spy box in my home if someone gifted it to me.

[ElenaSeluna]

I’ll get you one 😄

[OneViewpoint]

@DryGermanGuy,

I'm on the same page. Any benefit is outweighed by the potential harm. No thanks. They can keep their 24X7 listening device and data gathering tool.

[CriminallyInsane]

No. I don't want them thinking they are people.

[ElenaSeluna]

They are good tho 😄

[Sherloque95]

😂😂 I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this

[LiamS95]

They're intrusive and invade your privacy constantly listening to everything said or done in your home or office a far greater threat then subliminal advertising that was outlawed in the sixties or seventies

[katiesmuff]

No I don't and my husband thinks some of those things can actually spy on us which I agree with. I even wonder about our i phones.

[Larry30]

Yes I have a home automation system tied in so I voice command lights on and off and temperature timers and use it quite a bit. There is always a mute button if you want to talk about something you would not want anyone to hear.

[Master_Debator]

Yes I do... I use google search and youtube search like that. Sometimes even with AI.

[Kabluie]

I use Siri a lot in the car, it's the safest method when driving so she can update the map to where we want to go.

[BCRanger10]

Don't and won't. I don't want or need another device recording and remembering my voice.

[Nikki1989]

I've used a speech-to-text app, but the grammar and spelling are terrible.

[Abbycado]

I use Siri from time to time, mostly in the car.

[Valso]

I don't. I'm literate enough to type what I need to find and get an answer. From what I've seen and heard, only people who failed at their native language in school use these assistants.

[douride2]

I don't have or do I want any of those voice assist AI things.

[LC75LC71]

Lights on. Lights off. Works way better than the clapper did..

[Jeff51]

No. Ai not gonna take over my house.

[ElenaSeluna]

Ok 😄

[lilBigPotato]

Only to start timers and put reminders.

[queenofcardio]

I use Google for convience

[Xawyx-2]

Nope, I don't need those.

[WonderingManII]

No, I don’t want them to spy on me 👀

[fish5505_87]

mainly Siri, sometimes Alexa!

[strateguy632]

[Greatful]

Yes its great
