A recent study found these devices incorrectly activate like 80 times per day on average

On mobile, can't find the recent one based on conversation that was floating around lemmy recently.
This one finds high levels of inconsistent misactivation from TV shows. Some shows caused more than 4 misactivations per hour (a rate of more than 80 per day) https://moniotrlab.khoury.northeastern.edu/publications/smart-speakers-study-pets20/
