#2This seems a bit of an overreaction. If im entering a gas station, I assume Im being recorded. Same should be true for a cab or rideshare.

Sorry, is this an American thing to just accept that?

Respectfully disagree. I’m not going to hold highly sensitive conversations anywhere that someone could hear. And I assume a lot of presentations people work on in planes are at least somewhat sensitive if the wrong person were to see.
But I do assume some modicum of privacy.

#6Absolutely disgusting, collecting advertising data is out of control. I'm never taking a Lyft again.

#7With LLMs and the new transcription models it’s too easy for an individual to implement mass surveillance. You could easily plant listening devices around a cafe and pick up every conversation.
I don’t think we’ve properly internalized this as a society. While I’m not saying to be paranoid everywhere you go, I do this there should be reasonable expectation of being tapped in higher value areas where people like to casually do business.

While 'no expectation of privacy in public spaces' is an American thing, people in general accept any number otherwise awful things as long as they are part of the status quo. I mean, I can go on, but one only has to look at the history of man to look for appropriate examples.

#10It's easy to accidentally hit the microphone button that appears for any text field in almost all smartphone apps. The phone then transcribes any speech it hears and enters it into the field. I've done this.
It's not hard to imagine a scenario where the driver had the message passenger view open in the Lyft app and accidentally recorded the conversation this way. This probably happens a lot but this time the driver also accidentally sent it rather than deleting it.
This seems much more likely than a company recording someone without their consent but also texting them the transcription.
