Ok, that's kind of creepy, FaceBook

So, anyway, for some reason today, pictures on FaceBook are not rendering. In the overall scheme of things, this is neither here, nor there, and I'm sure it will soon be corrected.

But...

In place of pictures, I see things like this "image may contain three people, including xxxxxxxxx"



It seems highly unlikely that a human sat there, and added all these "may contain" messages, so therefore, some AI did.

That probably means that all pictures uploaded to FaceBook have had similar AI estimations applied to them.

One one hand, it's innocent, but on the other hand (the suspicious, cynical hand), one wonders how this might play out long term, especially in places like China.

Sigh. Privacy Revolution again, folks.
