Google's AI told people Flock cameras were full of gold. They weren't.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

MODERATORS
The sensor (native 1440p in 16:9 mode) and lens is probably the weak point, easily beaten by mid-range 2012 pocket cameras (almost: those have 12 MP and 5x optical zoom but no IR-cut solenoid), albeit those max out at 1080p30 H.264 because of processing power limitation. However, there's a "Long Range" model too, presumably with a better camera, but nobody has disassembled and documented that AFAIK.
