    I do tend to have always-on microphone services turned off, although it's at least as much that I'm unconvinced of the benefits as it is that I'm worried about privacy concerns.

    Subjectively I find this very easy to agree with because i don't find many benefits to voice interfaces beyond searching on TV boxes.
