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.

I have seen verbal fights on the streets of Germany where one side has pulled out their smartphone and started recording. The other person was shouting "don't record me", but the recording person was insisting it was because the other person was breaking some obscure law.

I did not sit to see what the police would have done with the material once they came, but are we sure they would dismiss it immediately, provided it had indeed broke some law?

Germans are really concerned about their privacy. Do you believe if that would be the norm, they wouldn't vote for politicians to completely abolish recording devices out of existence?

Just some food for thought

Yes, so concerned, they have their names on their doorbells everywhere.
