The whole idea that Facebook is secretly listening to all speech near any smart phone on earth and using it to map ads is a really fascinating meme.

Not a même. They do it and serve ads.

Have you seen 1 real proof? People are always saying that but nobody can prove it while it should be pretty easy to prove it by monitoring the data going out of your phone Ppl are experimenting on Reddit to speak only spanish around a Google Home to see if the ads will be in

Just anecdotal stuff where we talk about something obscure without ever typing it and then boom we see ads for it on our phones.

They don’t need to understand and then serve a reasonable response. They just need to identify a noun. “Siri, what channel is Nbatv on direct tv?” And “Siri, does direct tv work on cloudy days” are hard to answer but not hard for Algos to determine what ads to show.
