    keyword detection like “Hey Google” is only used to wake up a device from a low power state to perform more powerful listening

    That’s more applicable for something like a Google Mini. A phone is powerful enough, especially with the NPU most phones have now, to perform those detecting efficiently without stepping up the CPU state.

    Is there some kink of roleplaying AI dev?

    Is there some kink on your side in pretending you’re smart? You have no idea who I am or what I know.

    Increasing the number of keywords to thousands or more (which you would need to cover the range of possible ad topics) requires more processing power

    Again, you’re showing your lack of knowledge here. A model doesn’t use more power if trained on one class or a hundred. The amount of cycles is the same in both instances.

    It’s usually smart speakers that have a low powered chip that processes the wake word and fires up a more powerful chip. That doesn’t exist in phones.

    Edit: just to hammer home a point. Your example of “hey Google” simply waking up the device for more complex processing just proves my point. The scenario we’re talking about is the same as the wake word. We’re not looking to do any kind of complex processing. We’re just counting the number of times a word is triggered. That’s it. No reasoning out the meaning, no performing actions, no understanding of a question and then performing a search to provide a response. It’s literally a “wake-word” counter.

      No you are wrong. Seems your making things up on the go. More wake words to listen to more battery drain. Fact.

      But sure lets play. Now that you used your “wake word counter” what use would that have ? You have ZERO context then. Completely useless .

        Lol. “Nuh-uh” doesn’t work with me.

        Seems your making things up on the go

        I speak from knowledge and experience. What do you bring to the table?

        More wake words to listen to more battery drain. Fact.

        1 trained class = 1 model

        100 trained classes = 1 model

        Tell me how running 1 model would drain more battery than running 1 model? I’ll wait…

        You have ZERO context then. Completely useless .

        The person said “NIKE” a few times, show them ads for shoes. The person said “mechanic” “car” “fixed” around the same time, show them ads for local car repair shops.

        You don’t need the full context of what was said to get some context from just the words. The spacing in time and the revelations relationship between words can give you a whole lot of context. Plenty to target ads.

        Now, either come back with something real, or go away and conceed you’re out of your depth.

          I already did multiple times you just refuse to read it like the little bitch troll you are… context matter a lot you are wrong. How often do you say Nike ? More interesting would be “I will buy a pair of new shoes” now shoes can be mentioned in tons of context so you better have a way of separate it.

            I already did multiple times

            No you didn’t, because you keep saying wrong things.

            you just refuse to read it

            I don’t need to read it, because I read it when it came out… back in 2008. I read their stuff regularly. I also read all the other stuff about this topic (AI tech). An article from 2008 is irrelevant at this point. Technology has advanced leaps and bounds in 17 years. AI wasn’t even a thing back then. Things like Picovoice didn’t even exist until recently.

            It also says a lot that your source of truth is a near 20-year old article from Android Authority.

            How often do you say Nike ?

            Personally? Never.

            More interesting would be “I will buy a pair of new shoes” now shoes can be mentioned in tons of context so you better have a way of separate it.

            I don’t know about “interesting”, but I do agree that it would be much greater context to better target ads. But that’s not what the discussion was about. I said way back that I’m not positioning this idea of phone’s listening as an absolute certainty. My whole point was that at a technological level it’s well within technical means to accomplish the whole “our phones listen to what we say” all while not draining the battery enough to be outright noticeable.

            Another thing to note, is that most (if not all) of the anecdotal stories about people talking about a topic and then seeing ads about that thing are often generic conversations. Even in my own tests, which are anecdotal, confirm that. I never talk about boating. I never search anything about boats. I also never saw any ads about boats. Etc. So I did a little test on my own recently and openly talked about “getting the boat ready”, “can’t wait to go boating next week”, “need to get the boat in the water and ready for the season”, and so on. I did this for about an hour solid. Then waited and hour and visited some generic websites that show ads, and lo and behold there were lots of ads for buying a new propeller, ads for nearby marinas, ads for marina supply shops, ads for boating accessories, and so on.

            Like I said, it’s entirely anecdotal and in no way conclusive, but it does lead me to believe that there might be truth to the rumours. And it’s the kind of thing I’ve heard from many other technical people who deliberately tried to trigger ads on topics they never deal with otherwise.

            And also like I said before either come back with something real, or go away and concede you’re out of your depth.

              You are the one basing your argument on an article from 2008 , not me. You are completely deranged. Now come back with some hard evidence or go shout at the hollow moon in your tinfoil hat.

              Your anecdotes are as good as a horoscope. Get real.

                … what? You literally linked the article from Android Authority, not me.

                You are completely deranged.

                Says the person claiming a model’s computational power usage scales with the number of classes trained.

                Now come back with some hard evidence

                Hard evidence for what? I’ve never once claimed phones are listening to people’s conversations. This whole thread has been about the technical viability of such a system. Not evidence of it’s literal existence.

                You, on the other hand, have spewed nonsense this whole time.

                So like I’ve said more than once, come back with something real or stay in your lane.
