Only marginally, IMHO - software is vulnerable to remote hacks, but physically breaking the electrical connection is pretty effing hard to overcome remotely.
More context, the proportion of inaccurate summaries is high enough I limit my trust of it to something like jogging my memory on something I already know. I might make more searches based on it as well.
I ensure I never spread summaries unless I recognize their factuality - I recall a time I was asked a question, asked a state of the art model to explain the situation surrounding the question, read through the answer, and shared the answer 1:1 with a disclaimer that every word matched my understanding.
Didn’t Fairphone or some other Linux phone maker include switches in some relatively recent model?
EDIT: According to (embarrassed for having to mention source) Google’s AI summary, yes:
Murena 2: Features a dedicated physical privacy switch that physically cuts the circuit for the microphone and camera.
Purism Librem 5: Offers physical toggle switches on the side of the phone to mechanically sever power to the microphone, camera, and baseband.
Pine64 PinePhone: Includes built-in hardware DIP switches under the back cover that allow you to completely disconnect the mic, cameras, and modems.
I have /e/OS on my Fairphone 6 and the switch turns off camera and microphone. Of course this is software, but better than nothing.

Man at least use some open source or European AI, like Qwen, Deepseek, Mistral.
Is that true?
Could you be a bit more specific - is what true?

Some are MUCH more critical than me!:
Is that a copy paste from the automated summary at the top of Google results? Wondered if those bullet points are true
