Other comments say that these recordings are unlinked from your account after some time (6 months for apple) or you turn this feature off. In a previous HN [1] post we learned that third parties can listen to these anonymized recordings to improve the system, and there are actual humans listening to it...

What just jumped to my mind is that, leaving aside how unique your voice can be, or how identifiable your behaviour and patterns are (hint: a lot), there are a lot of searches that reveal unmistakable and straight personal info. What about:

"Hey phone, text [name of my special other] [naughty and quirky stuff]"

I wouldn't care too much if someone listened to me ask for a Starbucks, but I certainly don't want anyone to listen to that.

I dont like it either but most of this stuff already exists with them in email, texts, im's etc.
