Facebook collects audio voice chats on Messenger, pays contractors to listen

It's seems that everybody is discovering a secret that everybody knew all allong.

Meh, these "neural networks" have to start somewhere. They have to be trained somehow, and need to be corrected somehow. That's why all the companies claming to be able to parse speech and translate it into text are being discovered paying some form of contractors to listen at them.

What was everybody expecting? Stuff like alexa / google home / siri etc to happen like magic, just like that ?
