Manufacturing use-cases to justify spyware.

Yet again a "feature" nobody asked for. It will not even properly do what it says.

[-] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

No, but it will do something they need that we won’t want or like.

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

Uh, no thanks.

I guess for a person who screenshots places they want to go.

90% of my screenshot roll are of horror movies I want to watch. Google will be planning vacations to abandoned houses and Antarctic research stations. Yaaay.

Woohooo something 90% of people will NEVER use, it will be on by default so they can scan all your pics (in case they didn't already)

Think this is useless? It gets worse!

The new screenshot feature for Google Maps doesn’t appear to detect locations based on image recognition, instead requiring visible text

They must've told the new intern "Put AI in Google Maps. You have 3 days."
I almost feel bad for the poor sap.

Google Maps can, and we're just hearing this live now, "get fucked".

[-] DevotedOtter@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Not that I want this.... But why is it rolling out to ios before android?

[-] DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Because on Android, you can inspect the APK yourself, but on iOS, it's trust me bro.

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Christ what the fuck kind of offer is that. Who wants these shit features for this price.

Glad I just ditched Google... Might have to expedite removing data from their claws
