Google Pixel 9 might auto-record and transcribe your calls using AI

I like how the Pixel 9 looks, and will probably get it just to put GrapheneOS on it lol
- Yeah that's the only way out of this madness.
Holy privacy invasion Batman!
- I mean, that depends massively on how it is implemented, doesn't it.
  
  If it's all processed locally, and stored either locally or using client-side encryption, then I'm all for it.
  If it's plugging into their cloud bullshit, no thank you.
  
  You expect Google to.... Respect our privacy??
- Recorder transcribes locally without Internet connection and touching the cloud. I bet this will work the same way. I can't see them being able to market such a feature that send your calls to the cloud. Not to mention it might be illegal here and there. Wiretapping laws aren't joking matter. In some places even one party consent isn't enough.
  
  You can cling to that and trust Recorder.
  I’ll avoid both like the plague and sit by smugly when the “we accidentally sent it to the cloud” press release is published
Afaik calls aren't end to end encrypted, so I'm pretty sure someone in the middle is doing this already regardless.
Hmm windows is rolling out auto screenshot recording and your phone is set to transcribe every conversation.
Having a free operating system like Linux or graph is very quickly becoming a requirement
