I hope the abuses don't sour people on the whole technology. Used
correctly models can be used on edge devices like a phone. This is a step
forward. Now when you say the wake word like 'Hey Alexa', the rest of the
transaction is handled by the Amazon, Google, or whatever server. Doing
the complete process on the local device saves the internet traffic and
also keeps your data where it belongs.

Unfortunately, M$ is taking the opposite approach, using local AI to
potentially slurp up all your data. I'd taken several MIT courses on
machine learning and part of the lectures that was stressed frequently was
the ethical aspects.
