But lets assume that your microphone is recording everything you say to some llm, and everyone else too. imagine the shitshow it must be to sort all that data, considering how unreliable llm are. There is no way to know for sure what the original meaning and intention of words is without actual human confirming it. there would be so much constantly going on that even with decent automation it would be nightmare to manage, i think.
filtering for interesting words in a transcription would go a long way. I’m not convinced they would need an LLM for this. keyword based targeted advertising was a thing for quite a fewyears before LLMs became widespread.
I have occasionally tried to investigate if my phone is listening even though it doesnt indicate so, but i havent noticed anything that would point to that.
I have friends of all ages who are not really technically adept, and not caring much about privacy either, but who tell me from time to time that it’s like facebook is listening, because of some ad they saw on there. I still don’t have any clue how are they pulling that off, and I hear it too much to accept it being a coincidence.
but I don’t use facebook, I refuse to use their apps, my phone is clean from google too, while theirs is littered with every garbage in addition to the factory bloat, so I can’t do much to figure it out
if you dont block some applications from internet, they definitely are listening somehow. not sure if they can bypass the microphone permission, but if any has constant access then that is that. what i meant that the phone itself doesnt seem to have thing where it listens on you. average user who is not technically adept at all will have their phone riddled with spyware so no wonder they are seeing targeted ads.
Fakebook is just facilitating the ads, the advertising companies are the ones with the data. Though what facebook does with it is likely that they try manipulate you through their algorithm, suggesting stuff they want you to see based on the data collected. Be it for increased addiction, manipulation of opinions or something else.
