I have one of these shitty little Nest devices in my house to control the lights and play music and it is such a gaslighting piece of shit, I hate it.

Me: "OK Google, turn on Living Room Light", "I'm sorry, there are no lights available right now". My wife: "OK Google, turn on Living Room Light", "OK, turning on Living Room Light".

Me: "OK Google, play Spotify", "I'm sorry, there is no Spotify account connected right now". My wife: "OK Google, play Spotify", "OK, playing Spotify".

And it's always spying on me, always listening.

I feel similarly. Of all the devices used for mass surveillance, the "home assistants" are definitely one of the most suspicious.
