> Additionally, LG has a setting called "Live Plus" that Reddit users highlighted. When it's turned on, the TV can recognize what's displayed on screen and use that viewing information for personalized recommendations and ads. LG describes it as an "enhanced viewing experience,"

Ah. So it's not "AI." It's an "opportunity to spy on every single thing you do."

Those are completely separate. "Live Plus" is a TV setting that has nothing to do with Copilot and has been on their TVs for a long time.

It's not just LG! They keep trying to shove "a return channel" into the latest ATSC standards for DRM and "enhanced / more accurate ratings".

How do I check the TV in store does not have modem with esim? Or at least detect and disable embedded cell modems at home?

Bluetooth is enough, theoretically, if they have an agreement with Amazon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Sidewalk

And most TVs these days have Bluetooth.

ATSC 3.0 also specifies a dedicated long-range return channel with a range of many kilometers.

I wanted to write comment to the effect of "I don't have amazon devices hur hur", but then realized it does not have to be my device... Especially in an apartment building...

What next, ultrasound? IR?

The average person willingly connects them to their wifi, why would TV makers go through the effort and expense? Maybe I'm being too optimistic though...

And how long is a "long time", Mr. "It's old and boring that TV manufacturers do this so there's no point in being angry or complaining"?

Of course you can be angry at whoever you want, but it seems more productive to be angry at the entity actually causing the thing you dislike.

Being angry at the person playing interference for the TV manufacturers seems relevant in that regard.

At least since 2010. Turned off as soon as I bought mine.

Every AI company is doing the same thing, there is nothing special about Microsoft in this instance. If you're using a 3rd party provider for your queries you can assume it is going to end up in the training corpus.

"enhanced" (profit) for them, not for you.
