Because they were trained on doorbell cameras.

because doorbell cameras "sold/donated" private user data

Interesting thought. Where might they have obtained that footage

AI got really silent when they saw that tweet

Is there a story behind this that I've missed?

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

Doorbell cameras are selling the footage to AI companies, so AI is really good at making fake doorbell cam videos

It's just strong evidence that 24/7 footage of most streets is clearly widely available. Doorbell cameras have become effective universal surveillance that effectively anyone can view.

I know about the lack of security and the abundance of cameras open to the Internet, but AI companies should have little to no incentive training their image generation algoritms on those often poor-quality feeds.

I'm a bit out of the loop too but I heard some superbowl advert made people finally think twice about installing a camera connected to the internet on their doorstep.

You don’t own the footage your cameras record. As soon as people realize that, they’ll stop using them.
