is there any positive use case for this? either you recognize them organically or you don't need to be knowing them
Maybe people with a brain injury/Alzheimer’s/face blindness/memory problems, if the tech could be integrated with glasses and make real time identifications of people you’ve met previously? But that’s a stretch. Bad people will use it to do bad things long before any good comes of it.
This, basically.
I have lots of trouble remembering people's names. I'm usually good at recognising faces, but my brain doesn't link the face to the rest of the person's information. Glasses that could tell me someone's name and maybe a few key facts would make a huge difference in my life.
You can use it on yourself to see what pictures are out there of you, and get notified if something new is posted that you may not know about without your consent. Don't see many legitimate reasons to use it on other people, but if it had some sort of identity verification so that only you could look up yourself I think it could be very useful.
Why is this negative compared to "organic" recognition?
I get not wanting to be in big centralized databases, but digital recognition of a feature you show publicly doesn't seem so nefarious to me.
Being able to compare someone's face to your own database is one thing. Being able to look up a random person using the entire Internet as a database is a stalker's utopia.
You can use it to figure out who around you has been in porn?
