Ok, so i'm old and tech challenged. But i don't understand this scenario: I played songs on my bedside table GA last night. Turn it off this morning after listening to white noise all nite. This morning (no one else up), i'm cleaning up in the kitchen and i hummed a tune from last nite. Hummed. No words spoken. GA in the kitchen starts playing it. was inactive until that point. ???? HTF does that happen?

Granted. But how did it get a command from me humming.

Hum to search is a Google assistant feature.

These assistants can erroneously trigger sometimes.

I had my mini activate based upon some actor in a movie. Even rewound to make sure, and it happened again. He must sound like me.

While it's cool, I find the technology of "always on" pretty creepy. You basically have an electronic "bug" in your house.
