> Why would I want it to pretend it doesn't know?

I (and I think OP) want it to not know in the first place.

People who want their software to act stupid are a tiny minority, though. You can probably flip a bunch of switches to make it never remember anything but it sounds like you’re probably better off just not using it.

I don’t want privacy derangement to break my favorite features of AA. I like that I can ask it to navigate to that Vietnamese restaurant I went to last week. Or “to school” and have that work correctly.

I want my stuff to act smart, and I am happy to share my data to enable that. I just don't want the data I share to be used for anything other than making my software smart. I would be happy to pay, given the option. I am not ok with my data being used for advertisement.
