    I believe this is reinforcing my belief of living in a bubble. Everyone I know is not so happy with having AI everywhere. Even on their android devices, just the other day we had a conversation with my girlfriend, she was showing me something on her tablet, and somehow gemini was opened and started to listen for instructions. We were both weirded out and started to jokingly scream "go away" "we don't need you". It didn't follow our instruction, it just replied back "you can close me by doing a tap here and then bla bla over there" ...needless to say I had to take the tech-savvy role of the couple and did a long-tap just to drop it on that big "X" that appears on the screen. No, I didn't know what I was doing. Yes, AI is not malware because we don't even own the devices we are buying anymore!
