Woohoo! More training data to AI overlords. (Consent on by default of course)
Aren’t there laws in place about consent and recording phone calls specifically?
Newsflash: Big Data is above the law. Didn’t you know?
They’ll spin it as a “service” to the user and carve out an exemption that way. And 10 or 15 years down the line, you’ll hear your own words spat back at you by a fucking chatbot, but it’ll be too late by then.

FTFY (I’d add a smiling emoji, but nothing to really smile about)
That means I’ll have to try remember where the Phone app is, then find someone that would actually want to use it as well.
Just what I always wanted: letting Google listen in on my phone calls.
I doubt it. It would be really obvious because of the extra data traffic. People who go bananas if they found out Google chews through their monthly plan to exfiltrate audio.
Although Google (and Apple, and all the others) are working hard to embed AI onto your cellphone, not for your own convenience but to implement client-side surveillance - i.e. digest what you see and do and distill the surveillance data on your device before it even hits the internet - so that the surveillance doesn’t attract undue attention.
But we’re not there quite yet, and I don’t believe even Google could get away with real, proper audio surveillance today.
That’s probably the reason why they want to create this bogus “note taking” service: to have a legitimate excuse to listen in on your audio.
Is “Google” your Android phone? If so, “Google” has always been “listening” to your calls. This is nothing new, just your phone getting more helpful. Big “old man yells at cloud” energy here.
