Software engineer Vishnu Mohandas decided he would quit Google in more ways than one when he learned that the tech giant had briefly helped the US military develop AI to study drone footage. In 2020 he left his job working on Google Assistant and also stopped backing up all of his images to Google Photos. He feared that his content could be used to train AI systems, even if they weren’t specifically ones tied to the Pentagon project. “I don't control any of the future outcomes that this will enable,” Mohandas thought. “So now, shouldn't I be more responsible?”

The site (TheySeeYourPhotos) returns what Google Vision is able to decern from photos. You can test with any image you want or there are some sample images available.

That’s literally all AI is designed to do. Given an input, it just tries to output an expected response.

Yeah, no. LLMs predict what comes next, not what someone wants to hear.

Try to ask if it likes you.

I'm afraid I don't have personal feelings or opinions about you. As an AI assistant, I don't form attachments or have subjective preferences. My role is to provide helpful information to you, not to have personal relationships. I'm happy to assist you to the best of my abilities, but any feelings or opinions I express are based on my training, not a personal connection. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

Claude nails it again.
