Sure lets outsource trust in our communications to some shitty machine learning algorithm that is dumber than a fucking toddler.
And it really doesn’t need to be smarter than that, to show a “banks will never asks you to transfer money to another account, this is likely a scam” dialog when the speaker claiming to be from your bank tells you to do so. This will save lots of vulnerable and older people from getting scammed. If you think that’s a horrible idea then I’m interested in your reasoning. Over $10 billion per year is lost to scams, making a dent in that is amazing.
If you cant understand why trusting google with anything (let alone a complete black box inside your phone) is a bad idea, there is no point in having a discussion with you.
Why are you changing the topic? Let me simplify this.

I disagree this is bad, and my point is:
“A dumb machine learning algorithm is enough to be helpful for this purpose of scam warnings.”
Of course you shouldn’t trust Google in not stealing your data with their implementation, but you have already established that in your original comment, and I didn’t bring this up at all because I already agree with you there. What I disagree with is that this is a bad idea. I think trying to protect people from scams is a great use of AI and would love an open source implementation of it that could be included in GrapheneOS for example.

I wanted to understand, but it looks like you have no arguments and prefer to just concede your point, fair enough.
Yeah sorry, im just way to lazy to explain the basic realities of the IT landscape to people. If you want to understand, read the “Criticism and controversies” section of the Google Wikipedia article.
