You've never read your credit card number or any other private information to anyone in your home? Ever uttered you alarm code? It's not that it's a boogie man in the shadows, Amazon, a private company is keeping all of your recognized speech in it's databases for an unknown length of time. Do you trust Amazon to keep all of your private conversations private or protected? I don't.
This isn't just someone listening. It's indexable, searchable text that will most likely be sold as a service to other companies. I don't feel like paying for companies to data mine me for better ways to try and sell me stuff. My private home is my home, amazon doesn't need unfettered access to me and my family's private interactions and I don't have a problem typing my questions into google if I have them.
I have no issues with anyone else having one, it's just not my cup of tea.
