Those are driven by paid and certified pros.
Even 20 years ago American locomotives collected 96 parameters every second for analysis. The companies also used it to illegally run trains with computers back then. The impetus behind AI has a long history.
"ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, “Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode,” before recommending Sam take twice as much cough syrup so he would have stronger hallucinations. The AI tool even recommended playlists to match his drug use."

A big tech company that has repeatedly lied to and mislead users, who refuse to provide any customer service at all --even with their own purported AI product-- for their users, has introduced the idea of "Settings" that would allow a user to avoid Alphabet's voracious white elephant and not allow it to scarf up that crumb of data.
So they've likely sponsored helpful articles in tech publications that helps locate those intentionally-obscured settings to try to build veracity of their functionality so household techs might think the changes will be effective.
Absolutely no question that those "Settings" will be respected. The beings at Alphabet have heard about humans at tech conferences, so will use reassuring language while "harvesting" the data inputs "for quality-control purposes".
Zero-trust indeed.
