    Aren’t they all already listening always? I mean, how else does it hear you say “Ay yo Siri” otherwise?

      the phone’s processor has the wake up word hardcoded, so it’s not like an ad company can add a new one on a whim. and it uses passive listening, so it’s not recording everything you say - I’ve seen it compared to sitting in a class and not paying attention until the teacher says your name.

        Have you seen this code though? Every time I hear a statement like that, I have to wonder if you’re all just taking their word for it.

        I don’t take their word for it, unless they show me that code and prove that it is the code running on all the devices in use.
