It's really getting on my nerves that there's drama about something that I'd normally only see in app reviews on the Play Store. Like... In the Play Store I sometimes look at the (German) reviews of some pre-installed apps and laugh my ass off because holy shit it's so funny how stupid people are. ("I DON'T WANT THIS THEY WANT TO SPY ON ME AAA")
Now that there's actually many posts on fedi talking about how an pre-installed app spies on the users and scans images.... no? Haven't you guys read what it does?
Oh, I forgot. We're on fedi, where stuff like that starts and then just gets bigger - without thinking about it.
Sure, boosts can be well-intentioned, but without checking the information first, a boost can lead to a lot of FUD. (By the way, I also consider myself guilty here.)
It started getting on my nerves with the whole "VLC uses AI!! They want to kill all subtitles!! USE SOMETHING DIFFERENT 😱" thing, but now it's happening again??
So, what is that freshly new app "Android System SafetyCore" actually do?
Apparently it's just a collection of *local AI models* that can classify stuff *locally*, *without sending it to Google*. These can then be used by other apps, so they don't have to send it to other services / ship their own ai models.
Do you want an example for this? Google Messages uses this new app to classify messages as spam, malware, nudity, etc.
I can recommend reading this thread if you want to know more about this new app: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/113969399692663684
But please... PLEASE check before going code red and screaming on the internet that something is bad, because, again, that's something I always made fun of. Because this shows me that you can't read. (Or check actual sources.)
Thanks.
