That's a liberal extension of the definition. I wouldn't consider this anywhere close to traditional/established key logging.

No you’re not getting it. They use key loggers to train the AI and they need to use the targets keystrokes to do it. Without that they cannot train the AI to be able to use the microphone to figure the key strokes out.

It all starts with a traditional keylogger and that’s why this is silly.
