No, it’s doing all the heavy lifting on device, only sending the compressed output to the cloud for spying, err, offering you a better service.

A lot of the leaps in high-fidelity human-computer interaction (voice, face, and likely this new gesture system) have been made with having enough data about real-world interactions to train the models. It's how a company finds out about the ten thousand things that happen in the real world that their lab-models missed, and gets their algorithm from 90% accuracy to 99.9% accuracy.
- shantly 7y agoYeah, I saw that. If they are both 1) not equivocating, and 2) if actually telling the entire truth, don't switch to Hoovering up data if/when these become widespread (gen 2, say), I'll eat my hat. Given the company we're dealing with, I think my hat's safe. It'd be wildly out of character for them to resist collecting sensitive data from this.
