I hope this is just prohibited in the EU :-) If I see someone recording me(whether they did or not), I'll use my legal insurance to sue them into oblivion.

There's an imaginary boundary of when technology starts to hurt humanity, and this clearly crosses it in so many ways.

I can't believe the people behind this haven't thought about the negative sides, even if they deliver what they said in terms of privacy, it's so wrong in so many levels. Did they use ChatGPT to generate that silly idea?

This is when you know AI hype has hit cryptocurrency level, where stupid ideas start popping all the time and supposedly raising money.

It's time to grab popcorn and see VCs fund those stupid ideas and see them wasting their money.

Do you sue everyone that has a phone? Where's the line? Is it the form factor?

If they take a picture of me and I know it, yes. You can't see my house on Google Maps.

I live in a civilized country with some privacy laws, which will likely just pump out more laws once silly products like this start popping in the market.

Do you just not go out into public? What about stores with security cameras? What about tourists taking pictures with you in the background?

I do live and enjoy a normal life, but if I feel threatened by some silly device I won't just stare and accept that it's how things are.

The same goes for pictures.

Here it is for you how it works in Germany: https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/photography-laws-germany
