Google promised to keep data from the phone calls private.
I already have a system where, if someone calls me, it’s probably a scam.
If they leave a voicemail then its more legit but yea same here. I’d rather not have my phone calls be used as AI training.
That’s how I know it’s real. If they don’t leave a message they don’t care enough. The only people I want to talk to are like my doctors offices. My friends and family text and message.
I literally ignore all unknown numbers. I also ignore the doorbell if I don’t expect someone or something. If it is important then just send me a letter.
One of the greatest moments in my life was when I was a young adult and realized I could just ignore someone at my door and leave them standing there. I didn’t invite your ass to just show up so fuck right off.
Phone calls too. You better ask via text or something first if you expect me to stop what I’m doing to listen to your bullshit. Voicemail? Oh no, I never completed the setup so you can’t leave a message. So sorry!
my system is if you’re not in my contacts my phone doesn’t ring.
Prevent 100% of crime by having a police officer in your home 24/7.
Google promised
You mean the company that got rid of their previous motto of “do no evil”?
I wouldn’t even wipe my ass with Google’s “promise”.
Google promised I lol’d
The company that sells your information to scammers has an idea on how to prevent them. What a load.
Google literally pays this fake news site to post these clown ideas to see how public reacts to them.
Remember to not click that link :)
Don’t feed the fake news machine, if Sundar the Creep wants your opinion, it can scrap it out of here
I don’t think business insider qualifies as fake news site. Does it?
Business Insider was launched in 2007[7] and is based in Manhattan. Founded by DoubleClick’s former CEO Kevin P. Ryan, Dwight Merriman, and Henry Blodget,[

I doubt with a bench like that they report anything against their class or financial interest aka fake news for plebs to consume to get their thinking “right”
But either way, that article is paid advert/engagement slop masquerading as journalism.
I see what you mean but for me when I think of fake news sites, this comes to mind:
What a coincidence!
Google exists to make money off of you. Unless you are actually paying them, you are the product. It’s that simple.
Take with a grain of salt any claims they make about you regarding services they will offer you for free.
Paying for a product doesn’t mean you are not the product. Corpos will double dip when they have the option.
Modern cars collect huge amounts of data on their drivers despite the company making money from selling the car. Stores will sell your purchase history to advertisers. You can’t trust any one with data about you.
Yes, excellent point. Realistically we should trust no one who stands to make money off of us, even if we are already giving them money.
Don’t worry everyone, I’m sure all the voice data will be anonymized.
As much as this is a fucking privacy nightmare, if it were an Opt-in only service it could be a godsend for the vulnerable and elderly.
The elderly have nothing to lose anymore since google accidentally deleted their pensions
nah I’ll stick with steve smith trying to sell me car insurance for gift cards, ty
No
I think they phrased that incorrectly. Don’t they mean Google wants their AI to listen in on your conversations and in return they’ll keep you safe. LOL.
Hey, apropos of nothing, does anyone else remember when Google’s mission statement was simply “Don’t Be Evil” but then had to amend that?
