Forgive me for taking this to an uncomfortable extreme of a hypothetical:
As a parent, would you seek to prevent an AR app from allowing overlays of an artificially created model of a beaten and bruised child over your child's body when a user looks at them?
As a spouse, would you seek to prevent an AR app from allowing overlays of a pornographic representation of their body when a user looks at them?
As a homeowner, would you seek to prevent an AR app from allowing overlays of "#blacklivesdontmatter" from appearing as graffiti when a user looks at your home?
- ominous 10y agoNo problem, I enjoy hypotheticals. As a parent, spouse or homeowner, I wouldn't. I would like it to stop, in the same way I would like that guy downstairs to be nice to me. But I will just postpone as long as I can to interact with people that use said AR app as lens for the world. Because the problem is not the overlays. The problem is when people use the overlays / AR app as a truth finder. And I don't care much for those kinds of people, neither does anyone I care about.
