“What would it mean for your business if you could target potential clients who are actively discussing their need for your services in their day-to-day conversations? No, it's not a Black Mirror episode—it's Voice Data, and CMG has the capabilities to use it to your business advantage.”
There’s no way that an app with mic permissions could basically do the same thing and pick up on certain preprogrammed words like Ford or Coke which could then be parsed by AI and used by advertisers? It certainly seems like that isn’t out of the realm of physical possibility but I’m definitely no expert. Would they have had to pay the OS maker to hardcode it in to the OS? Could that be done in an update at a later time?
only if you want the phone to start burning battery and data while displaying the “microphone in use” indicator all the time.
not to mention that the specific phrases have been picked in order to cause as few false positives as possible (which is why you can’t change them yourself), and you can still fool Google Assistant by saying “hey booboo” or “okay boomer”. good luck with making it reliably recognize “Ford”, lol.
Huh, TIL. I figured “if they can do it with one thing they could do it with more than one thing.”
