If only there was some way to monitor the traffic flowing in and out of the device over your own, private, internet connection...
This is why I'm generally comfortable with a smart device in most rooms. I know it's not transmitting everything to the cloud because that would be obvious in the data.
What is concerning though is that as the processing power increases, soon these devices will comfortably be able to translate everything to text. At that point all conversations could easily be compressed and uploaded and it wouldn't stand out. Certainly that's not quite as invasive as actually having your speech transmitted, but it would still be a massive erosion of privacy.
