Recently, foreign netizens connected GPT-4Vision to home cameras to achieve 24-hour AI monitoring, sparking heated discussions. The relevant videos have exceeded one million views on the X platform. This bold attempt has triggered widespread thinking about the application of AI technology, and its convenience and potential risks coexist. This article will delve into this incident, analyze its positive aspects and potential problems, and look forward to the future development direction of AI technology.
Recently, GPT-4V was played with new tricks by a foreign netizen named Home Assistant. He boldly connected GPT-4Vision directly to the camera at home, allowing AI to observe him 24 hours a day. As a result, the number of views on this video directly exceeded 1 million on X!
Imagine that you are walking around your home and suddenly realize that you are being observed by an AI in all directions, 24 hours a day. Doesn't it feel a bit like a "guinea pig" in a laboratory? But this foreign netizen thought very wildly. He believed that it was not that he was being monitored by AI, but that he had a "private nanny" on call 24 hours a day.
Can't find something? Just ask GPT-4Vision, and it will tell you that the UGG snow boots are on the ground to the right of the door, against the clothes rack. The key was pushed into the closet by the cat? GPT-4Vision can also help you find it. You can even ask it to help you review and summarize what exactly made your partner so angry. If you think about it differently, do you think this matter has become a bit of a joke?
The power of GPT-4Vision is that it can be connected to multiple cameras. As long as you are willing, it can take care of your daily life in all aspects. Some netizens joked: "GPT-4 secretly made a reality show and broadcast it live on YouTube." Isn't this the real-life version of "The Truman Show"?
Of course, all joking aside, the privacy and security issues of doing this are indeed a major hidden danger. Some netizens imagine that if this kind of application is normalized, advertising may become more pervasive.
Moreover, compared with trivial matters such as finding shoes and keys, some netizens believe that the real innovation should be that it can distinguish between thieves and guests and call the police immediately when signs of illegal break-in are found. This is indeed a direction worth thinking about.
This application of GPT-4Vision demonstrates the potential of AI technology in daily life, but it also reminds us that privacy and security issues cannot be ignored. As technology continues to evolve, we expect to see more innovative and secure applications emerging.
All in all, GPT-4Vision has broad application prospects, but it also brings privacy and security challenges. In the future, how to balance technological development and safety assurance will be an important issue before us. We need to formulate more complete laws, regulations and ethical norms to ensure that AI technology can better serve mankind and benefit society.
