My mobile phone service is Google Fi on a Samsung phone.

My wife just commented to me that she was too tired and didn't want to make babka (not that I had asked her to).

Out of my pocket, a non-corporal man's voice volunteered that using good water was important for making vodka and went on for a good 30 seconds about fermentation etc.

This sort of thing has happened every few weeks. I don't think I have ever said Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (or "Hello Google", Siri, Alexa or any such thing) and it makes me concerned that my phone is listening to me and surrounding conversations and who knows what is flowing up-stream to Google. And, considering it confused my wife saying babka for vodka, who knows how it is interpreting TV shows I might be watching vs. what anyone with earshot of me is saying.

Repeat after me, "I love Big Brother."

P.S. I actually do love my big brother but that's a different story. ;-)

And, you are paying to be data mined and monitored.

Don't Samsung phones use Android?

Sticks in my mind, humans being "taken care of" by Android, was foreseen, decades ago.
