> It feels way behind Google Home and Amazon.
Between Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft - Apple is the only one I would invite into my home to listen to my activities. Perhaps it's just marketing, but the other three have not done anything to earn my trust. Apple at least appears to be concerned about my privacy.
- mmanfrin 9y agoI know Amazon's intentions and their profit motive: to get me to buy things. This makes me okay with an Alexa in my home. Google is murkier, but I feel assuaged a bit because they have -- hands down -- the best 'knowledge engine' for a speaker. Microsoft will never, ever have a live mic in my home. I have done everything I can find to neuter any background listening my Win10 PC can do. Apple wins on the privacy front, but they have neither the broad knowledge available that Google does nor the 2 years of experience that Amazon does.
- freedomben 9y agoI feel completely the same way. I have appreciated the control Google has given us now as well with being able to manage some of the data stored on us. I know they see everything I do, but between the well-working product and ~illusion of~ control, they have me. On the other hand, it will take a lot for me to trust Microsoft again.
