They’ve been actually listening to conversations for years, what is new is that an LLM is going to report about it to the user… which is quite ironic if you ask me.
Imagine breaking up with the one you love only to have your watch remind you about it later… pathetic
Assumably it’s a “passive” feature that you have to explicitly tell “hey keep record of that” within 15 seconds of the interaction.
So a little less doom and gloom than the headline suggests.
Edit: It seems I mixed up features. This still doesnt sound terrible. You as a user turn it on, the device emits a tone and visual cue. You can do the same thing with any number of sound recording devices out there, and they give literally zero warning they are recording.
