Arrr mateys, gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn about the dreary plight of the single scallywag on Valentine’s Day! It be a wretched time, but fear not, fer a trusty AI assistant be at yer side – or so ye think! These mechanical mates be no more than data-hungry buccaneers, scourin’ for yer personal secrets to plunder!According to the wise folk at Surfshark, four outta five of these clever contraptions in the Apple App Store be trackin’ yer every move, not to lend a hand, but to spy like a parrot on yer shoulder! Aye, Miguel Fornés, a cybersecurity expert, claims they be more like dastardly surveillance tools than friendly companions. It’s enough to make a pirate’s heart sink!
As the scurvy dogs at Surfshark delved into the treasures of data these apps gather, it was revealed that apps like Character AI be the most greedy, hoardin’ up to 15 types of data! They be wantin’ to know where ye are, all to bombard ye with targeted ads like cannonballs in a storm!
