What do you think, ChatGPT? If it can create almost perfect summaries with a prompt; why wouldn’t it work in reverse? AI built into Windows could flag potentially subversives thoughts typed into Notepad or Word, as well as flag “problematic” clicks and compare it to previously profiled behavior. AI built into your GPU could build an behavioral profile based on your interactions with your hentai Sonic the Hedgehog game.
I’m sure you’ll find some good explanations online, but there’s an “activation” circuit on the device “listening” that then engages the rest of the system when it’s triggered. So there’s no recording or sending of data until the activation phrase has been said, and the activation phrase detection is done locally on the device.
This makes sense for devices like Google home where there is only one activation phrase but I don’t understand how an IC could exist that can respond to custom activation phrases.
Also are you saying that cellphones have this circuit too? I’m pretty darn sure that’s all software based.
