What is happening on your smartphone screen is the next battleground for even more data points. Those who will be able to get access to, are only a few (Apple, Google, MS) and mostly only one of them at once. - Google Now can screen scrap your current screen and use it how they wish as processing is done on the server side. - Siri is well embedded within the iOS ecosystem since a couple of years - Since MS' investment in Cyanogen, the try to push Cortana into more devices. Same as with Windows 10. I really don't like it. As long as we can still turn such features off, I'm fine.

The irony and joke is that this is just another wave of standardsless spyware. For example, there is no way to do "voice commands" on desktop Linux because all these systems are proprietary and rely on huge processing networks owned by big tech to implement, and they use them as "features" to sell their particular flavor of vendor lock-in. Mycroft is literally the only attempt to remedy this but of course you face brick walls to trying to get any interoperatbility between these cloud networks.
