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.
