This sounds like a device designed to torture animals. If someone brought this into my house and turned it on around my dog I would probably ask them to leave.

Cost of putting microphone in anything is negligible. Connection to internet in many things is assumed so even if microphone is unused, it could be turned on with an update. Then again, my social circle met yesterday and they have multiple devices controlled by voice. It didn't stop anyone from saying things that would not look good if broadcast in public. It is weird, how easy it is to forget about it. Probably because you think it is your space. I would not dream of messing with their devices. I am a guest. I opted to be there. I tried to think about it rationally. I can't give them too much shit. Between me and my wife, we have 8 devices in house now that have microphones and/or cameras in. Ok google is off. Siri is off on phone, but on watch it is activated by a button, so there is semblance of control.
