• siri snooping

    From badgolferman@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 9 12:30:19 2023
    My son had surgery yesterday and I'm supposed to pick him up today. He
    sent me a SMS message asking for a Monster energy drink when I come.
    Today when I opened the conversation back up at the top of the page
    there is a message which says:

    Siri found a Reminder Add
    Bring me a Monster
    Today

    I didn't know Siri snoops on my conversations. I found the setting for
    that and shut it off. Do others actually use this Siri "Learn from
    this app" feature?

    Since that data never leaves your device, there is no "snooping" going
    on.

    Why do you care so much?

    I don't want my phone thiking for me unless I tell it to. Automated
    responses are not my thing and I don't like talking to phone menus
    either. I want my electronics to be a tool rather than an "assistant".

    That is complete bullshit, and you know it.

    Automated
    responses are not my thing and I don't like talking to phone menus
    either. I want my electronics to be a tool rather than an "assistant".

    Saying it twice doesn't make it less bullshit.

    You were offered a smart suggestion, and you could have just said no.

    Do you object to your device recognizing all the information in an email
    and suggesting you can create a contact from it... ...or add new
    information to an existing contact?

    Of course not.

    Neither of these are your phone "thinking for [you]".

    As a sensible adult, I agree with you that it's creepy.
    But I would hope it can easily be turned off...

    Can it?

    Hang on now, maybe he *does* mind! 🤣

    Then again, consider the source. Not a lot of thinking goes into these
    weak trolls. 😉

    It's "creepy" in what way?

    But I would hope it can easily be turned off...

    What a pity you didn't actually pay attention to what he wrote:

    "I found the setting for that and shut it off."

    It's almost like you're not really interested in anything other than
    yourself.
