Is it really the people or just a subset of people that use Lemmy, the vast majority of people seemingly don’t care as is evidenced by the sheer number of people using things like social media.

What might be important to use in this echo chamber isn’t reflective of society on the whole.

You seem to want to me prove that a law doesn’t exist where it’s much easier for you to show me a law doesn’t exist.

You can read this House of Commons debate on the topic Here

Police officers have the discretion to ask people not to take photographs for public safety or security reasons, but the taking of photographs in a public place is not subject to any rule or statute. There are no legal restrictions on photography in a public place, and there is no presumption of privacy for individuals in a public place

Or you can read This debate from the House of Lords.

The taking of photographs in a public place is not subject to any rules or statute. There are no legal restrictions on photography in a public place … and the Home Secretary … expressed our desire to ensure that people are free and able to take photographs in public places

Seems pretty simple really. Although I will concede that processing or personal identifiable information, even if done ok device, would likely be a breach of GDPR.

As for your assertion that I habitually break GDPR, yeah sure in this hypothetical scenario, but thankfully as a software engineer we have a team that handles this for us.

I know that because I do a lot of street photography and there is no law in the UK forbidding photography of people in public spaces, it’s quite easy for you to Google this but I can’t provide you with a law condoning it as that’s not how it works.

Again show me in GDPR where it expressly forbids marching a face to a public dataset.

I’d have to research 4, but I know for a fact taking a photo of someone in public is protected as you have no right to privacy in public, it’s also not the subjects business what I intend to do with it, so things like posting online might be subject to GDPR but if i wanted to build an app like the one in this post then I would do what they did and have it all on device so it technically isn’t uploaded anywhere.

I would need a law showing that matching a face against publicly available datasets of faces is illegal as that seems insane and difficult to police.

Yes, 3 I agree with as it would fall under GDPR as identifiable information.

What’s highly illegal in Europe? Taking a photo or using publicly available images to match that photo to?

As far as I know those things are not illegal, although as a Brit I wouldn’t be surprised if they label this terrorism lol

You’ve given a lot more context and use cases here that you oppose and I would agree with them for the most part, but I would push back on the people using text narration switching to an AI voice as a natural progression as the tool becomes more useful.

As for seeing a video that has been improved by AI I would hazard a guess you’re already watching them, if you think creators are not using LLMs to improve their workflow and efficiency then you’d be mistaken.

I can’t comment on any specifics but our company of software engineers have saved that many man hours from LLM integration, as a tool not just write code for us, that me and my 5 colleagues all got a pay rise and a reduction of weekly hours at the same time. So based on this I would assume that if used correctly and responsibly I don’t see why people in other industries can’t use the tool for similar benefits.

Signals to me that maybe the creator isn’t comfortable with their voice or maybe they can’t speak or have a stutter, but they still have something to say.

Signals to me that maybe the creator isn’t comfortable with their voice or maybe they can’t speak or have a stutter, but they still have something to say.

I like to approach things in life with positive intent, so seeing a video with an AI voice to me would make me assume that perhaps they don’t have a great voice or that they have a stammer so so an Ai voice allows them to still make content they want to.

I find that life is a lot better if you assume the best in people rather than assume the worse. And I can tell you that since I’ve taken this approach I’m a much happier person and it’s extremely rare that I give positive intent to someone with bad intentions so worth it for less stress and worrying about things all the time.

Do you think the same of channels that pay someone else to be the face of the channel or is it just Ai voices you have issue with?

But why?

Like sure some of the voices are not great but the words being said are the thing I’m interested in and not the person / machine saying the words.

Each to their own and all that, I’m just curious as to why you just stop watching something you were seemingly enjoying.

I don’t use either but my issue with Signal is none of my friends want another application to install and they are happy with WhatApp.

Conversely, I’m happy not having a group chat app and will either text you or iMessage you. Don’t you dare ring me as I ain’t answering.

I don’t really give it much thought, I load pornhub, click a recommended video, do my business and then close the private tab (yes I know this doesn’t hide your activity but it does stop pornhub showing as a search suggestion.). I’m not a connoisseur it’s a means to an end.
