    I don’t think they’ve got AI reading your screen, but they definitely have AI listening to conversations and noises that happen anywhere in the vicinity of a powered-on phone.

    I think the other way around is more likely. It's well known that Google reads your Gmail emails (and their attachments), so odds are they read whatever you pull up in Chrome, or on your Chromebook, or your Android, etc. There's a good chance they can pull your data from non-Google sources, too, given how much shit has contacts with Google at some level. And if they aren't, Amazon, Microsoft, or Apple probably is.

    On the other side, we don't have any concrete evidence of Google turning your phone into an always-on listening device (at least not on a mass scale). I'm guessing that would be a lot more computationally intense, too, although that's out of my depth.
