The first concern is that not all services are alike. Probably nobody cares if I'm able to deduce how many Alexa users in NYC want to know about the weather forecast. But I think people would be creeped-out if I was looking at their hotel reservation info (where and when they're staying, how many rooms, etc).
The second is that there might be leaks: what if Amazon miss-detects (or I misspeak) and I end up with transcripts from some other service.
- mikeash 9y agoI don't understand the hotel reservation example. If you're receiving that info, it's because you provide some sort of hotel booking service, so you have to receive that info one way or another. All this does is let you see the exact wording they used, not just the extracted data. Leaks do seem like a legitimate concern. I'd be interested to know how frequent they are.
