Considering the amount of Apple devices in the wild, I guess what I talk physically to people will be mostly recorded then, not to mention that Google assistant or smth like that maybe doing the same, what a Brave New World.

I have an older smart watch and it's starting to get a little tired, I'll be replacing it with an actual watch that only tells the time and date, so sick of all smart things

How does this not violate 2-party consent?

Remember when they used to say if you didn't pay for the product it was because you were the product? Now-a-days you get to pay to be the product.

Surveillance capitalism fucking sucks. Can we all go back to the 90's or early 2000's?
The worst thing about this is how ubiquitous Apple watches are. Now everybody who has one is going to have people suspecting them of being unwitting surveillance meat drones.

Man, my work is going to ban apple watches so fast based on this.

But add an always-listening AI assistant into the mix who's taking notes on your day-to-day, including your conversations with others who may not know they're being surveilled, and suddenly Apple's latest handy feature starts to look a lot creepier. Apple's other big new Audio Intelligence feature for watches is Live Rewind, which can produce a transcript of the last 15 seconds of audio on your watch face — whether a wake word was said, or not.
Thanks Siri Recaps!
I won’t say it’s not* a privacy nightmare but doesn’t Apple devices process this whole thing on-device? I don’t find it fair to compare this with Meta anything (and only that).

It isn't enough to be privacy conscious. Now the apyijg follows you anywhere you have contact with other people
You’ve been able to just record audio with a watch forever now I don’t see how this is significantly worse than that.
