While I think that is possible the same is true if I'm on the phone with the dispatcher at a Taxi company and no one is saying the phone company is disrespecting my privacy for sending the full uncensored audio of what I say into the phone to the phone number I called.
I actually like that analogy better than the website one I gave... effectively when you activate a bot of any kind you are calling that bot.
- DougWebb 9y agoThat's a good analogy, but two things: 1) It's a lot easier to call a bot accidentally than to make a phone call accidentally, since the phone requires you to press your butt against it, but the bot is just listening to you talk near it. 2) Accidental phone calls are also ephemeral. Even if it goes to voicemail, only the recipient is likely to ever hear it, and it generally won't be kept forever. With Alexia, it goes into some big training pool, probably permanently.
