The only issue here is that there is no really useful ubiquitous feature yet. Once that comes, people will not care about any security issues or any other reason against it. It's coming for sure. Maybe they need recall feature to train right now, maybe they won't anymore at some point.
Lemmy people do not like your comment, but I think you are spot on. Laypeople just do not care about privacy, like, at all. That's how instagram, facebook and such are popular despite all the privacy infractions.
It's so sad how people 1000% prefer convenience over privacy..

Some people are really crazy around here and they will downvote anything and everything AI, especially posts from someone who might not be an anti-ai activist.
I've got my own view. I've worked in a company that does ai research and I've seen the how fast the progress is. I'm also old enough to remember vividly a time when people couldn't imagine that anyone would put their entire life online for everyone else to see. Yet here we are.
Edit: You can see already some crazy triggered poor soul commenting here 😂
ooh wow, the speed of progress. such a well known indicator of something definitely being good, and never at all being abused by ghouls!
sometimes I wonder if any of you dumb fuckwits ever read any historical perspectives at all

You got a source for this?
At first I was skeptical of the guy who told me, but they seemed rich and therefore trustworthy.
You have a source for that? 😁
