I wish I could say that I was surprised by the outcry over the fact that digital assistants like the Google Home actually record audio of your requests. I don’t actually have a problem with this in my own house since I’ve largely transitioned over from Amazon devices to Google devices that have a mechanism for disabling listening for wake words. Google filled in some of the blanks about how this data is used so hopefully people are a little less afraid of the all hearing ports of our robot overlords for the moment.
