  • I don’t understand the privacy issues.

    Imagine having a camera and microphone in your house 24/7, with absolutely no guaratee about who is watching or recording you at any point. I realize that a mobile phone isn’t far off that, but you can, at least, cover those.

    It’s not like you don’t invite random people once in a while to clean your home

    Even if you do have people like cleaners come to your house, it’s at pre-agreed times, and when they’ve left, they’ve gone and can’t continue to watch you.

    So if we tolerate strangers cleaning our homes once in a while, why is it a privacy issue if strangers do the task through the robot…

    As mentioned before, the cleaner leaves, but the robot can, and let’s face it, will, monitor you 24/7. Worse, the OP’s suggested use case requires the robot to monitor all the time in order to be ready to help. If a senior falls, they may not be able to call out loudly enough to be heard, so either the robot will need to folliw them, or their hone will need to be filled with microphones and cameras, making things even worse.

    …while also training the AI in the future, for our benefit only?

    You won’t be training the AI for our benefit, you’ll be training it for the benefit of the owners of companies like facebook, x, xAI and other’s like them. That will nit end well, and certainly will not benefit society in general.
