“Siri, aggregate my every conversation so that you can monetize my thoughts for advertisers.”

It really irritates me when Siri doesn’t understand anything I say. That’s why I look things up the old fashioned way: Google.

Not down here…It’s supposed to be 75 and sunny…

Siri, Alexa, and Google are always listening.

The TV remote listens, … all . the . time.

Try an experiment: Say some key words like “pregnant” or “vacation” or “prostate” near your phone or TV or Siri. (Something that could involve spending some bucks.) See if you start getting targeted ads. After two weeks, try some different key words around your computer at work. Good luck.

Siri & Alexa, snooping machines

I’d play more golf if I had a winning Lotto ticket.

I am flying to Europe on Lufthansa in May, and downloaded their app. This explains why I am now getting ads on my phone in German.

“Alexa – tell the NSA, CIA and CCP/DNC that I’ll be having supper now and need a wine recommendation that pairs well with asparagus.”

That isn’t really much better.

well…most cars do have a microphone built into them…just sayin’…

You’re going to score a hole-in-one by hitting the ball with your golf glove??
