If no proof is offered (in either direction), then the proposition can be called unproven, undecided, inconclusive, an open problem or a conjecture.

Stating that you don't think that it's possible is irrelevant. It's either happening or it isn't. True or false. P or ¬P.

is extremely unlikely to be true in my opinion.

Is an argument from ignorance. Not trying to be rude, but this is basic logic.

Well, offer some proof that it’s happening then. I’ve not seen any proof that people’s mics are always listening and uploading their conversations somewhere to serve them ads, or whatever other conspiracy is commonly claimed.

Why don’t you flex your understanding of logic on the person you initially responded to, who said:

They’ve probably got logs of conversations in every Alexa household.

Where’s the evidence for that claim?

See my previous post...

It’s better to be safe than sorry is all I’m saying.

Also 3 separate cases have been posted above. Just continue ignoring those, I guess.

Yeah I read those, that’s not what I’m talking about. Bye ✌️

Mad.

Edit: They've edited both of their previous posts to re-frame the argument after the fact and removed a personal attack. Classy.
