Of course. And we have to trust that it is true and won't change depending on country and/or target.

That's so creepy. The machine shouldn't care.

Jefferey Toobin would have loved this feature during COVID.

That's like a third of the value proposition for FaceTiming with an S/O.

You know, I'd really rather not have an AI model trained on detecting people stripping naked on any of my webcam-enabled devices.

I feel this is a situation where half the world is unaware of a specific problem.

And the other half probably doesn't tell them.

At most I could accept if this were a feature for children’s accounts that parents could choose to enable. I’m not sure I’m Ok with even that though because slippery slopes quite often start with “ think of the children”.

Audio/Video/Chat services should probably be demanded(maybe even required by law) to be dumb pipes that never filter ANYTHING.

Can we have a European version, that freezes if someone shows violence? Nobody cares about nudity.

There goes my part time job.

So, .. no application for it in the remote consult medical domain then.

Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?

Uh huh, you'll have to speak up I'm wearing a towel.

Maybe it's time to start a movement, that educates people to ditch the control/oppressive device from their back pockets and be satisfied with a more modest but open system in every respect. All the top tier phones look and feel the same. Everything is locked down, you can't customize anything, everything needs a payment. Ridiculous.
