Oh look, an admission that Alexa listens all the time. No wake word needed.
lorddimwit is now @“Hey Alexa isn’t when your smart device starts listening, it’s when it starts responding.”
it's B! Cavello 🐝@michaelwareman it kinda has to listen all the time just to catch a wake word, no?
ki6bty@michaelwareman They can't hear the wakeup word if the mic isn't hot 24/7. Same with your phone. Amazon has had teams in Russia pouring over the sound recordings to better train Alexa for over a decade now.

Define listen. If it is in the device only, I'd not consider that listening. If they can accurately detect a snore without cloud, that is the same as using a wake word.

BlueDot🇺🇦I had a conversation with someone in which I mentioned that Alexa listens to everything you say, all the time, and checks what you just said for the wake word.
Oh no, they said, that can't be.
And I responded, think about it. How else could it possibly work?
