    @alwillis@mastodon.social @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange I was reading that document and at first I was like "OK, if the data never leaves your devices, then that's fine... what's the problem?" but then I'm hit with that "Private Cloud Compute", which no matter how "private" they try to make it, it means that there's some other device outside your control that has your data (or rather, the other person's data, without their consent), no matter how temporary it is. Especially when current gen devices are more than capable of doing this computation themselves, even if it takes a little bit longer. So no, we shouldn't accept this technology as normal.

    Thanks for finding that link @alwillis@mastodon.social. I've copied a paragraph verbatim from the link above. While I totally get where you are coming from @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange, it's not providing a recording and exact transcript like a meeting note-taker like plaude or otter. I understand it is still worrying, but it's less invasive than some other options. By design, Siri Recap does not create a recording, does not produce a verbatim transcript, and does not identify and attribute speakers. The output is a brief, high-level summary, comparable to notes a person might write after a conversation. There is no audible signal because no raw audio is retained, and there is no way to reconstruct the original audio from a Siri Recap or share raw audio with anyone.
