HomePod doesn’t “spy.” The Siri stuff is anonymous. Apple doesn’t know that you asked Siri for directions to a porn shop: unlike Google and Alexa where their business model is based on “spying.”
You can actually use Siri to identify songs (thanks to the Shazam acquisition.) “Hey Siri, what’s this song..” it then listens and identifies the song.
- mirimir 8y agoThat's good news. I've been coming around to Apple, I admit. They've given me no hassle about having a pseudonymous Apple Store account, funded from Bitcoin via giftcards. I was blown away when I discovered Shazam. Waiting in line, I heard a song that I vaguely remembered. So I asked this guy if he knew it. He pulled out his iPhone, waited a minute, and then told me. Very cool! Although also a little frightening ;)
