Privacy. Alexa and Siri get triggered unintentionally very frequently in normal conversation.
- tenacious_tuna 6y agoAnd Google Assistant doesn't? We quite often (~once a week, minimum) have our Home mini trigger off of some unrelated conversation. 50/50 on if "google" is ever mentioned, too.
- mritchie712 6y agoRight, Google was worried about privacy.
- sorenjan 6y agoMy Google Mini gets triggered several times a night when I'm watching video. Maybe 1/3 of the time it's somebody saying "ok", but most of the time it seems to be random.
- sz4kerto 6y ago"Ok Google" gets triggered by stuff like "OK cool", that I often say. It's maddening.
- Avamander 6y agoYou can say "okay boomer" and it triggers.
- Steltek 6y agoI frequently reply to my kids with "Ok, go $do_a_thing" and I almost always trigger my phone, even if it's in my pocket. The kicker is that I use "Hey Google" when I want the assistant so the "Ok Google" form is not even needed.
- PurpleFoxy 6y agoThis is why I only have Siri enabled on my watch which isn’t listening while the face is dimmed. And yet it still randomly triggers a few times a month
- aylmao 6y agoI agree it's harder to accidentally trigger it, but I doubt the reasoning behind it is "Privacy".
- ajhurliman 6y agoI'm not sure you understand their business model if you think they made the decision based off of privacy.
- appleflaxen 6y agoI don't believe any of the three when they say they aren't recording everything.
