AI is listening to your keyboard

[durangod]

Now the hackers have a new trick.  They employ the social devices you have with listening capability and let AI listen to your keyboard clicks. AI can guess your passwords, website visits, and conversations with 95% accuracy.   

I believe the day will come sooner than we think, that we will either have to put AI in a cage or humanity will be in one.    The world of today is not ours anymore.  It belongs to the new generation and in 50 years the world will look unrecognizable and the USA and what our forefathers wanted will be in the history books only. 

If you don't believe that the war of man against machine has already started i believe you are not in touch with reality.   Its happening right under our feet folks.

I thought all the “clicks” were the same so no way of telling what key was pressed?

Or do you mean the microphone on your phone listens to the physical keyboard “click”?

This is what ChatGPT says in response to...

Can AI listen to your keyboard clicks?

"AI, in the sense of software applications or systems, can potentially listen to keyboard clicks, but not in the way humans hear sounds. AI can monitor and analyze keyboard inputs in a textual or data format, looking for patterns, analyzing typing speed, or even identifying key sequences or commands. This is often done for legitimate purposes like text prediction, spell checking, or keylogging protection. However, AI systems are not listening to keyboard clicks in the audio sense.

When you type on a keyboard, it generates electrical signals that are processed by your computer's hardware and operating system, which is separate from the audio system. AI systems do not have the capability to capture and analyze audio from your keyboard clicks unless they are specifically designed to do so, and such a setup would likely raise privacy and ethical concerns.

In summary, AI can monitor and analyze keyboard inputs as text or data, but it does not listen to keyboard clicks as audio signals in the way humans might listen to sounds."

Bear in mind, though, that it may  be lying through it's teeth.

In the sense of predictive text, I personally think keyboard clicks is the wrong wording, as it is using user input to feed the AI monster…
