How about I sue Google for getting my voice without me knowingly aware so that it could train its AI model? How about that? How about you, Google, remove that shit immediately and stop spying on me?
You can sue all you want, won't go anywhere or change anything. They have more money, more power, and more lawyers. If you really don't want that, stop using Google services whenever and wherever possible.
I Wonder if I'm allowed to say things without actually meaning. I mean you guys are right. But if Google's ponzi tzar got united health cared, I would do a little dance in the kitchen before getting my rice crispy milk from the fridge. I assume that we are allowed to have good will thoughts as well as I'll will thoughts. Is thinking still allowed and can we say "fuck Google" in more meaningful ways? Like "I hope your flight leaves early asshole!" Or phrases with a little more sharpness like " I hope your company spirals into nothingness soon!" But now I'm afraid to express my displeasure.
That is what scares me the most about AI- they're giving it not just voices, but voices that sound like humans including emotional inflections. That is at least the demo I heard ChatGPT give some months ago of their voice.
We did not evolve to read text. We evolved to listen to members of our tribe and believe them.
People will believe what an AI voice tells them because they are fighting evolution that goes back to the early warning cries of our distant mammalian ancestors.
Your not gonna sue anyone.
I don't think this will go anywhere because I'm fairly certain that they did have your permission if you were using their assistant or Gemini at all. You can opt out of both, but you won't have those features.
Good thing I opted out of the annual Caterpillar house destruction tests when I got my Caterpillar themed safety boots. I can just hear the regerts of so many people who didn't fill out the opt out form and then mailed it back. Didn't they read? Every year they pick 10 houses and bulldozer them. That's it. There was no building back nothing. I bet that's what help people.
