I take extraordinary measures to thwart, disable, or otherwise interfere with "voice assistants" within my home. One of the trends that's very upsetting for me is the injection of connectivity with voice assistants and IOT into EVERYTHING. It's impossible to buy a decently rated / high-end washer and dryer that doesn't want to connect to WiFi to sync to Google/Amazon for Alexa and Works with Google Assistant, and until you connect it somewhere they leave open a Bluetooth endpoint. This is commonplace with many household items. Good news is, at least for now, it's easy to thwart Internet connectivity. Simply create a new SSID, connect them to it, and then delete the SSID. Make sure you set up WPA2 as part of it, so that if someone in the future creates the same SSID as a rogue/spoof, that it'll fail to connect. Once most devices connect to WiFi they internally disable Bluetooth automatically as it's used for IOT setup. I look at what Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and others are doing with voice assistants and IOT and I just stare in abject horror. We're setting ourselves up for a dystopian cyberpunk nightmare of a future and everybody just seems to be okay with it. These roadmaps don't give me much hope for the future.
