The mic is disabled, but the audacity is fully functional.
When you’ve been talking with someone about buying something and it is the first suggestion when you type it in the Google search bar
How would it know you disabled the microphone when you say Hey Google if the microphone was actually disabled?
My assigned FBI agent forgot to mute his side of the call
Why does it know what I’m thinking but when I scream STOP at 200 decibels it can’t hear me trying to cancel my alarm?

bro said the mic is off while actively replying ðŸ˜
Okay so in Google’s defence, how I have heard how it works is that there is indeed a microphone always recording and writing the recording to a small buffer. This is a small buffer that cannot hold a lot of data, maybe like a minute of recordings, so it’s often overwritten. Every so often an algorithm checks for a pattern in this audio that would match you saying “OK GOOGLE”. Only then would it save the recording to a more permanent buffer in order to understand what you ask. But because you “disabled” the mic, it will instead auto-reply with that in case you forgot/didn’t know you disabled it.
It’s still very sus and I wouldn’t want to have something like this in my home, but I would imagine it working like this if they were ethical
