The “spits random nonsense at random times” is the excuse for the total surveillance device that listens to everything we say.
I like to believe there would be at least some resistance if apple straight up said “we made your device listen to literally everything you say and upload it to our server for analysis and storage”.
But if they say “here’s a virtual companion that acts like another person in the room” then people will be swindled in the same way they have been with so called home assistants.
