I found it interesting that their nod to privacy wasn't "we'll do all the processing locally", but rather "we won't link this to your account when we send it up to the cloud".
Which is sort of weird, right? Are they doing voice recognition and language understanding in the cloud, then sending actions back to the speaker for local execution of things that require actions to be taken, eg setting reminders & liking songs?
I guess this is how they try and get themselves out of the corner they've painted themselves into with privacy.
- gondo 9y agothey do this with siri on iphone. there is no reason to believe that they would do local processing on home pod
- Eridrus 9y agoFine, but do you find this to be a compelling privacy story? To me it seems like Apple's "commitment to privacy" is running up against some technical realities and isn't much more than marketing fluff.
