My wife uses Instagram, and at times, she receives ads related to things we discuss together or with her friends. Initially, you might consider these occurrences as mere coincidences, given that they only happen occasionally. However, the level of specificity in these ads is uncanny.
Interestingly enough, we find ourselves getting unusually excited when this happens, primarily because English is not our native language. When the spyware manages to comprehend our conversations despite our heavy accents, it gives us a sense of improvement in our language skills.
Conversely, our sentiments take a complete turn when we unintentionally activate Apple’s Siri while discussing unrelated topics. For some reason, the dedicated chip for detecting “Hey, Siri!” interprets one of us uttering that command and starts listening in. We exchange glances, shed a few tears of frustration over the misunderstanding, and then burst into laughter.
I’m not entirely sure how they manage to accomplish this, but perhaps there’s an idea for an app hidden in these experiences. For instance, an app that consistently listens in the background and occasionally shares a relevant joke based on the ongoing conversation. That would certainly add a humorous twist to things.
