![]() But this begs to another question… does Google listen to me for ads? Does Google listen to me for ads though? But for the advancement of technology, most people are okay with this because it results in better technology, better products and a better standard of living. Who wants humans listening to us? Not many people. Some analysts listen to 1,000+ voice clips per shift! This is fine enough for most, but tends to bother people more than just Siri or Alexa listening in for any remote commands. The fact that humans at big tech firms listen to us has been disclosed publicly by Amazon and Google. And that requires more than just coding, i.e. In order to optimize the voice technology used by virtual assistants, the big tech firms need to update their algorithms. But does it stop there? Do humans listen to us too? Do humans at big tech firms listen to us?Īgain, the short answer is yes. And that’s fine with most people, given the microphone has to stay “alert” in case you call on a virtual assistant to do something for you. So they need to be “trained” to hear you, and that happen with an active mic. But you might say it weird, or with a cough. For example – if you say their name, they’ll respond. They need – as the user of the phone – to train them to hear. Why? Because Siri, Alexa, and Google Voice need to listen to you to optimize their natural language processing. By default, the factory settings have microphone on. ![]() The short answer is, yes – Siri, Alexa and Google Voice do listen to you. Which begs to question… Does Google listen to me? The crazy part is, I don’t even have any dogs! And sure enough this type of story – about having a convo only to get hit with an ad about that topic shortly after – is not unique to me. Just a few hours later, I logged into Instagram to be hit with an ad for subscription dog food. I was having a conversation with a friend about it one night. And the clever advertising that they’re deploying. If you’ve noticed recently there has been a boom in organic dog food companies.
