In what way does this violate the privacy of anyone around them? It doesn't even store audio recordings, which is something every smartphone has been able to do for 20 years.
- saagarjha 17d agoIt keeps information on what they said?
- tshaddox 17d ago15 seconds at a time, when the owner activates the feature. The scale of its recall is not meaningfully different than someone scribbling down 15 seconds worth of what they hear someone say (or even just remembering it), and does not pose a greater privacy risk than a scratchpad or human memory. It’s also much less effective at recording people speaking for long durations than the audio recording feature that every smartphone for the last 20 years has supported.

- codercotton 17d agoIt also does not identify individual speakers.
- saagarjha 16d agoThere are two features, you have listed one of them.
- xp84 17d agoIf you don't want any one to write down or remember what you said, maybe don't say it to them?
- mikeocool 17d agoHave you never had a conversation someone you trust that you prefer there not be an automated written record of?
- gumby271 17d agoThis thread is so fascinating, I had no idea that because I'm comfortable having an intimate conversation with a friend means I'm also okay with a potentially permanent AI summary being generated based on it, and without my knowledge or consent!
- xp84 16d agoSure. But it's the exception. Most of my conversations are incredibly boring work stuff, where the records are extremely helpful to me too, or incredibly boring logistics discussion with family. Maybe you guys just have a lot more shocking secrets than I do.
- saagarjha 16d agoThis is not a person
- nozzlegear 16d agoHuman memory keeps more information than this feature does.

- saagarjha 16d agoHuman memory is connected to a person with agency.
- nozzlegear 16d agoUh, yes?
- saagarjha 15d agoTherefore a human is capable of distinguishing what is appropriate or not to be around for
- lionkor 16d agoHuman memory does not keep more information than an always-on live transcript of all words spoken around you.
- nozzlegear 16d agoWhat? It certainly keeps more information that a 15 second transcript.
- bhelkey 16d agoThere are two different features: "Siri Recap" records throughout the day without the user needing to constantly enable it. It provides AI summaries of the recorded conversations including direct quotes. "Live Rewind" shows an exact transcript of conversation but only of the 15 seconds immediately before the user activated it.
