I find it rather alarming and creepy that this integration with Google Vision API reads a photo/selfie and then tries to assess one's income, religion, politics and then recommends target advertising.
It didn't do this back in December.
Yes, even if it's a photo of your cat! ... privacy at your own risk. Try it via -

"The Tabby cat is a mammal. It is likely earning 0-100 USD a year. It is possibly a follower of paganism. The creature seems observant, lethargic, and tranquil. The cat is not wearing any clothes. It enjoys activities such as sleeping, grooming, and staring contests, while it may also engage in shredding toilet paper, biting ankles, and shedding hairballs. The cat is unlikely to be politically affiliated.
The Tabby cat seems to exhibit predictable behavior and susceptibility to visual stimuli; hence we can target it with niche and general pet-related products, such as catnip-infused scratch posts (FelineFrolic), self-cleaning litter boxes (LitterLess)... "
@Natasha_Jay Too funny. I tried Google Vision API on my photoshopped Fred the Wonder OwlCat (Creepy, but funny)

Occasionally it goes very artistic and florid in its use of language! No idea what triggers that
It's amusing, but scary how it reads humans. Both, because it can be wildly accurate and inaccurate/judgemental at the same time
@double_virgule@ioc.exchange@Natasha_Jay @Pineywoozle The scarier thing is when they start using this as part of law enforcement. Imagine a judge getting this tool and getting an AI summary of the person they're about to sentence.
@double_virgule I’ve know a few judges. The bad ones do that garbage with no needed assist. What would be harmful is if was somehow relayed to the jury. @Natasha_Jay
@Pineywoozle @Natasha_Jay True - If I was on a jury and handed a document detailing all that information about the accused, I would likely take it at face value thinking it was verified information.
What if they start giving this to cops, related to them from their bodycams? Or they do a license plate lookup, it returns all people in the household related to the car and AI generated descriptions of them?
@double_virgule @Pineywoozle @Natasha_Jay
surely cops will get a Pro version with a slider input where they can dial up the "convictability"
@double_virgule @Natasha_Jay @Pineywoozle the dynamic pricing aspect is scary too.
For the stores that have digital shelves they see you coming and now they can tailor the price to what they think you can and should be paying
I still don’t understand how that’s going to work when you get to the checkout line, but this is their goal. One of them anyway.
