And here I thought that whoever is intelligent enough to transform Raspberry Pies into interesting stuff would have a mindset where inviting Amazon's 24/7 microphones into your home isn't a good idea. (Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, Huawei...)

I've decided after the "human learning" revelation about these "smart" speakers that I won't be considering one. At best I'll be getting something that functions stand-alone without any internet access.
