But there will be some other shiny new buzzword to distract from that
I don't even think they'll bother. We're at the point were goverments just say shit that would've sunk them 20 or 30 years ago.
I do, not because they make any attempt to hide it (cf. Microsoft), but because people are willing to spend their own money to buy a product marketed as an "AI-powered voice assistant" instead of an "always-on surveillance mic"
I think they'll split the difference.
On the store shelf it will be called an "AI-powered voice assistant” because branding still matters.
At shareholder meetings or for the WSJ they'll openly call it an “always-on surveillance mic” because they don't need to hide.
