virtual assistant/chatbots

[NotFuzzyWarm]

If you want to be private, in is better you do away with the AI that can easily collect information from you.
<snip>

There is no can about it.
AI/Chatbots DO collect information. While they are not allowed to collect personally identifiable information, what is collected is fairly general such as the nature of the inquiry, the structure of it and, if you accepted the bot's response, etc. Nonetheless, data IS being collected to be used for the AI training.

Personally, no way in hell would I want any sort of AI to automatically make ANY sort of financial transactions for me. Monitor market conditions etc and then make recommendations for me to decide what to do - sure.

As much as you'll fell it's convenient, it is highly not advisable.
Yes AI is intelligent even now the advancement has been mind blowing but I wouldn't recommend using them to make transactions. You should know that your use of AI is been recorded and stored somewhere with the opinion to be used for upgrades, analysis and to make the AI better.. imagine encountering a man in the middle attack. With you not manually observing the transaction, address can be changed. Giving your AI that much permission to handle financial transaction is risky as someone can control it to. You make think that the voice recognition will prevent that but these things can be bypassed.. do not use AI fir transactions

Voice assistants and creative AI are enough alike, and tools such as Siri are increasingly useful in checking Bitcoin price in rush, but not making financial guesses, to avoid legal blame. However, according to me, their actual deal is huge security trap since now, fakes can create copies of your voice in 2026 with highest truth of 95 percent in order to beat body scans.

These devices (which are always-on and often keep voice records, which may be stolen by data leak) create risk of lasting blockchain mistake, or voice faking, which is much greater than ease, truly to be safe, I would always sign by hand to cold safe wallet not connected to internet.

...though when i asked siri whether or not bitcoin will rise, it didn’t say anything definitive.

I liked that.

when you are sending some bitcoin or making transactions, will you trust siri or any other virtual assistant to do it for you?

Nope.

how safe are we with them listening?

I have assistant disabled on my phone. IDK for sure, if it makes any difference though, I disabled it because I did not want it to hog phone resources and not for privacy reasons.

... All it takes is one little bug or glitch and all your money is gone. Why would you trust a piece of software, which was probably written by some random half baked "coder" from india?

Lol, why would these companies hire half baked coder though?

I see virtual assistants more as convenience tools than intelligence tools. They’re very good at fetching information instantly because they’re plugged into the internet and databases not because they’re analyzing Bitcoin themselves. That’s why factual questions work well but opinion-based or predictive ones don’t.

Personally, I wouldn’t trust any assistant with something as sensitive as a Bitcoin transaction. Voice commands, background noise and privacy concerns introduce risks that don’t exist when you’re manually signing a transaction. For something as important as sending bitcoin or making transactions, manually doing them myself will always be the smartest approach.

I usually don't like the comparison given between Virtual Assistants and chatbots, because they're not the same thing.Firstly, virtual assistant is a name for a human remote worker.They can both handle the same tasks,but they're limited to certain roles and emotional intelligence.Which is why individuals or businesses hire more virtual assistants because of their abilities/skills.I believe Chatbots can't replace Virtual Assistants,they  only assist VA's with positioning and deeper support.

It's better to separate the main wallet from the online device or smartphone you use.
Regarding the privacy issues regarding AI chatbots or their companions on our personal phones,
it is the responsibility of each of you whether you want to turn it off or not. 
But I personally also just use my phone as usual and don't think about privacy issues etc.

I only know how my device works and the privacy concerns I would think of when it came to a wallet that had a lot of assets.
I split it with the main wallet and didn't use it on the same device.

The AI chatbot that exists on mobile phones according to what I read is indeed used to collect user information and data,
long before AI appeared it was already done, but this becomes the privacy of each user for each account.

AI does help people who wanted to know something like the one you mentioned where you wanted to know the price of Bitcoin and the program will gather the information that is given or across the web but for transactions, I think I'd rather do it myself than trusting AI or anyone other than me. If you mentioned about something like this is that my goal is only about getting information and not about funds or anything related to money. Even people who put a lot of effort in their wallets got hacked or scammed so if you make AI do it for you the it's possible for the AI to get hacked.

siri, alexa, google home or many more are some of the well known virtual assistants or chatbots you can talk to via voice and give them commands

today i asked siri what was the price of bitcoin and it answered correctly. aren’t they just older versions of AI? though when i asked siri whether or not bitcoin will rise, it didn’t say anything definitive.

No, I wouldn't trust an AI to make a transaction on my behalf, firstly because I don't want an AI chatbot or model to access my wallet and explore everything that it can without me knowing about it (which is what they always do, if you know you know), and secondly, I'm totally fine, both mentally and physically, so I don't really need to use such a thing to do such an important work of mine when I know that making a transaction wouldn't even take more than a couple of minutes of my time, so even if I'm too busy, I can still do such tasks myself.

AI has been progressing at a great pace, and we can clearly see its usage is getting increased in almost all sectors, but when it comes to financial sectors and managing finances, I'm pretty sure that a lot of people would still not trust a model to do all their stuff, unless they are already using only centralized platforms that they don't care letting a bot manage, but even then, trust issues could always be there, because you don't know how and what data the bot is recording and sending back to where it has come from.

There are actually some wallet that has implemented this, building the wallet around AI agents but mostly for altcoins. I don't really use it because it introduces another risk of losing money.

I won't ever trust a AI to make a transaction for me because inaccuracy is a thing, but if it forges the transaction to be signed on and manually reviewed by me, that's an entirely different thing and I might be interested.

Sending transaction only took you 3-10 seconds at max. Using AI for this, I'd call it laziness. As for privacy concern, only company behind the AI know the scope of the AI's access toward your system. We the consumers can only guess.

Never,  I don't think there is a need to user ai for making payments. When it comes to money I don't suggest to get help from Ai. Think technically If you give access to your wallet to a Ai and that Ai is hacked won't you lose your entire fund. Ai are not really that much secure. They keep learning from our data. Crypto transections is the only thing i love doing it myself.

[FinneysTrueVision]

Personal assistants have started using AI now. I can’t say that I’ve been impressed with Apple Intelligence features, but they’re there and they kind of work sometimes.

I wouldn’t trust a personal assistant or AI agent to manage my wallet for me because it’s too much of a security risk. Perhaps if micropayment protocols like x402 catch on, I would only allow an agent to use a small amount of funds to give me access to paywalled content.

I'm not really sure about Siri or Alexa, but when I ask chat gpt about Bitcoin it is just honest about it, it will tell you probability, and risk management practices and more things to know about.

Me I will personally respect the way it views it tough, because of its honesty and transparency.
But one should also make his own personal decision too, you can not be totally dependent on an ai, you get informations from it that will give you an idea in how to make things right.

these AIs arent for financial decisions. its in their terms of service -theyre compliance tools, not advisors. remember Binances huge hack?

people relying on bots got hit hard.
these tools gather data; they don't protect your investments.
