Why does Google need all these permissions to add 2+2?

Just uninstall Assistant

It's for using assistant. Why not just use the calculator app anon?

My iPod Shuffle from 2010, barely bigger than two CMOS batteries, had voice control with no internet integration. Pretending you need "muh cloud" for basic speech to text is a fraud.

Ask it to do 2+2

Because the assistant program relies on other programs to do things. It doesn't include a calculator program on its own. It must either ping Google for an answer or query a different program.

Just give me the permissions, goy

They don't. What they want is permission to farm as much data from you as they possibly can for every single mundane task you use their services to do. They're already taking as much as they can, but permissions allow even more unfettered access and deniability.

All this time, I thought the speech to text conversion happened on the client side.
This is why (((apps))) need to die in a fire. With web performance on devices being quite reasonable in the first place, there's no REAL need for (((apps))) anymore.

Web and App Activity is web access and access to other apps, so in order to use calculator it needs those permissions.
Voice and Audio Activity is obviously for listening for to you etc

Device information is for spying on your.

Some reason why you didn't just use Wolfram Alpha for a calculation of such complexity?

So it can monitor your reaction when it responds 5.
