Language really muddles things here. What counts as "listening"? In some sense a microphone not connected to anything is always "listening" but we don't call it that because the electrical impulses it generates don't go anywhere. Is a phone "listening" if it's just running that data through a routine that only recognizes a wake word? Does it make sense to use the same word for that as for live streaming data to a server?
