I’m all for it. If I can walk through the grocery store and AI can track all the prices on everything and help me budget, i would think that’s pretty cool. Or, if I need to check back what a professor said in class and work on the board, boom no problem. I can see people not wanting to get filmed, but aren’t we already being filmed constantly already? Now I get to film for my benefit.
My privacy issue would be the likely massive access they'd "require" in order to use. If using them means Meta gets access to all sorts of info just so I can use it, then hell no. If I have relatively complete control over the access I'm fine with it.
Yeah, I can see that. I held out from Meta/FB for years for my data’s sake until I started dating a woman in South America and now I have to have What’sAp.
I would love a private version, too, yes, where I had full control over my data. If Meta is taking basic metadata here, such as location, I think I would still use it, but if they are accessing the actual footage, or getting way to granular with the metadata, then yeah I guess that’s a bit more alarming. Still, it’s not far from what we already have today. You have to fight to not have all your behavior tracked.
