wtf
Edit: Apparently this is satire or an art project
This type of extravagant technological solution feels like something Aperture Science would make
We do what we must because we can.
Cave Johnson, we’re done here.
y’all mfs trying to detect obvious satire challenge (impossible)
Wait, is it?
pretty sure it is :)
I corrected the title and post!
Thought this is an invention for blind people at first.
Someone please kill me
actually, Google was really working on something like this, based on googlestreet images, gps, accelerometer, time, AI etc… to deduce the image and sell cameraless smartphone.
what a stupid idea, honestly
- because it is indeed stupid: the most inefficient way to provide an existing and cheap feature
- cameras are actually the selling point of most the expensive smartphone
- I WANT to capture it myself
This is one of those “it’s cool!” things that people took way too far
I can’t imagine anyone other than tech bros actually using this in any scenario
It’s a cool art project.
AI image generation aside, this sort of thing might be genuinely useful for someone who is blind or low vision. It’s like alt text for the world.
@sexy_peach what if the AI doesn’t already have the image 👀 ?
That’s not how AI works
Looks like a lot of unnecessary extra steps for worse effect.
It is incredibly ironic though because back in the days photography was attacked as the thing that would “destroy art”.
