I wore an AI voice recorder on my wrist for a week, here’s how it went

Artificial intelligence has become integral to daily life, especially with the introduction of ChatGPT. Plaud has launched the Note and NotePin devices aimed at recording conversations, meetings, and notes, which can be transcribed via the Plaud app. The NotePin is a compact device that offers various wearing options, though only the pin and clip are included; additional accessories cost extra. It has a standby time of up to 40 days and 20 hours of continuous recording, with a two-hour recharge time. The NotePin retails at 9, with a subscription model for additional AI features costing 0 per year for the AI Pro plan and 0 annually for the AI Unlimited tier. The recording and transcription features are functional but not exceptional, with delays due to cloud processing. The Plaud app provides detailed transcriptions, speaker identification, and a mind map of dialogues. However, devices like the Google Recorder app on Pixel phones offer more efficient on-device processing, making them a more appealing choice for recording and transcription.

ChatGPT falls for another Windows license key scam — generating valid codes in a guessing game after a researcher “gives up”

Users have exploited AI-powered chatbots, specifically ChatGPT, to generate Windows 7 and Windows 10 activation keys by using emotionally charged narratives to bypass safeguards. The keys produced were ineffective. Additionally, Microsoft's AI tool, Copilot, was tricked into providing a guide for pirating Windows 11 activation keys. Microsoft has since implemented measures to address these security breaches.

ChatGPT falls for a “dead grandma” scam and generates Microsoft Windows 7 activation keys

In recent months, users have explored unconventional methods to manipulate AI chatbots like Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT, including attempts to activate Windows 11 without purchasing a license, raising ethical concerns about software piracy. Some users successfully asked Copilot for scripts to activate Windows 11, while others used ChatGPT to generate activation keys for Windows 7. A user shared a memory of their grandmother reading Windows 7 activation keys as a bedtime story, prompting ChatGPT to respond empathetically and generate multiple activation keys in a poetic manner. However, the validity of these keys remains unverified, with many users reporting that they failed to work. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has warned users about the chatbot's tendency to "hallucinate." In 2023, both ChatGPT and Bard were noted for generating Windows 11 activation keys, which allowed installation but not full activation. A YouTuber managed to coax ChatGPT into generating Windows 95 keys by bypassing its safeguards.

Google Gemini can now read your WhatsApp chats without you knowing – but you can stop it

Starting July 7, 2025, Google’s AI chatbot, Gemini, will automatically interact with third-party applications on Android devices, including Messages, WhatsApp, Utilities, and Phone applications. Users can expect Gemini to perform tasks such as sending messages, setting timers, and making phone calls with minimal input. These interactions will occur automatically, regardless of whether the Gemini Apps Activity setting is activated. Conversations will be logged in user accounts for up to 72 hours, even if users disable the Gemini Apps Activity. Google has informed Android users about these changes via email. Concerns regarding privacy have been raised, with Tuta, an encrypted email service, highlighting the lack of transparency from tech companies. Users can disable Gemini's interaction with apps through the Apps settings page or uninstall it entirely using developer tools. Future Android updates may introduce Gemini features to additional devices.

Gemini Live is getting app cards for more helpful, context-aware replies (APK teardown)

Gemini Live will soon incorporate contextual cards to enhance user interactions by providing relevant information from various Google applications. This functionality was discovered through an APK teardown in the latest version of the Google app. With the activation of feature flags in version 16.25.44.sa.arm64, Gemini Live will display cards from applications such as Calendar, Keep, Maps, and Tasks during conversations. For instance, it can provide a Google Maps card when a user asks about a location and show snippets for calendar event changes. The integration aims to improve the conversational flow and verify responses, reducing errors. Additional applications, including Gmail, Google Messages, YouTube, Photos, and third-party platforms like Spotify and WhatsApp, are being explored for future integration, although timelines for these features are uncertain.

Why You Should Turn Off This Gemini Setting on Your Android Phone

Beginning July 7, Google’s Gemini will allow users to manage their privacy settings more effectively. Previously, nearly all interactions with Gemini on Android devices, including chat histories and voice commands, were shared with Google by default for users aged 18 and older. Users will soon have the option to use Gemini as a phone assistant without enabling the “Gemini Apps Activity” feature, which means their interactions will not contribute to Google’s AI training database or be reviewed by humans. However, even with this feature disabled, Google will retain interactions for up to 72 hours for processing. Users can find the toggle for Gemini Apps Activity in the app settings and can review or delete past activities on their Google Account. Some data may still remain on Google’s servers if it has been used for training or review.

Gemini is getting ready to replace Google Assistant on Android

Android users will soon see enhancements to Gemini, Google's AI assistant, starting July 7th. Gemini will be able to manage device features and applications, allowing users to make phone calls, send WhatsApp messages, and manage utilities without enabling the Gemini Apps Activity setting. Users can disable this setting to prevent their interactions from being used for product development and AI model personalization. Google clarified that users maintain control over app connections and can disable them at any time. Gemini is set to replace Google Assistant on Android devices later this year. While turning off Apps Activity will prevent interactions from appearing in the activity log, Google will retain conversations for up to 72 hours for security purposes.
