It's strange that you'd have concerns about privacy when it comes to sentence structure and not that you have a literal black box with a powerful computer and an always on internet connected microphone in it.

Are you talking about my phone, my car, or my TV?

I trust Amazon more than Samsung, Chevy or, well, Samsung. But at least I can verify that my Echo is not sending home unusual amounts of data when it's not in use.

Isn't it really easy to run your own code on it? Not really a black box. Except well, literally.
