Of course they are. If you are surprised by this, then you are an idiot.

Well,that’s the thing with “news” right? Just scattered information without context for clicks. If people start connecting the dots and things make sense, most of the news become pretty uninteresting and would not evoke anger, prompting you to click and share.

Why people always so ready to call other people idiots? Idiot
TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Because most people are idiots.

I work for Amazon.
This has been the case for many years. Amazon has used AI in Alexa and other services for many years as primary providers, and has told it’s users it’s used it’s data for as long. We’re talking from close to inception here, so 6-7 years, at least. Hell, LLM’s aren’t even new to most big tech companies!
I’m all for privacy, but if you want privacy then you probably shouldn’t have a fucking tin can in your house that actions every conversation to a cloud service!

Not every conversation, just statements following a detected wake word.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You trust that?
EnderMB@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Considering I set up one of the content types that relates to wakeword and utterance text analysis for Alexa, I trust it completely.
