This was so obviously a bad idea from day one, I was shocked at how widely adopted these were right away. In retrospect I shouldnt have been surprised but somehow I just always expect people to be smarter.

All you have to do is not tell any of the customers that it continually listens, by the time the ones who didn't know find out, it's already in their homes, they've already got the app installed, and they've said "I dreamt about something and then saw an ad for it the next day" more than once.

I might need you to cite a source on people being generally smart at the individual level. Current politics feels like it disagrees with that assessment...
