Note that Apple's gyrations trying to claim they are not recording are basically nonsense. Not retaining the actual audio data does not alter the fact that they are collecting and processing and then retaining processed data. Perhaps even more telling is that typically in states with 2-party (all-party) consent laws, both recording and eavesdropping are covered. Clearly the watch and AI are eavesdropping in this case.
