I think the main thing from this claim is that the audio is shared with third parties.

  Apple Siri uses Nuance speech recognition technology; afaik Siri run on their server at launch. It seems they outsourced tasks to another company to improve the speech recognition. The classification task that the Reddit user does can be used by Nuance to improve their data. As another Reddit user mentioned that after doing the job for a while you will start recognizing speakers: http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/2wzmmr/everything_youve_ever_said_to_siricortana_has/covn14e http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/2wzmmr/everythin...

    There are hundreds of millions of iOS and Android devices out there. If someone is starting to recognize voices, it supports a common sense reaction that a subset of voice commands are being used for QA/QC purposes to improve accuracy.

      That's definitely the case. Plus there are some heavy users while many users try out Siri/GoogleNow/Cortana just a few times and never come back.
