You’ve gone home with a Tinder date, and things are escalating. You don’t really know or trust this guy, and you don’t want to contract an STI, so… what now?
A company called Calmara wants you to snap a photo of the guy’s penis, then use its AI to tell you if your partner is “clear” or not.
Let’s get something out of the way right off the bat: You should not take a picture of anyone’s genitals and scan it with an AI tool to decide whether or not you should have sex.
I’m pretty sure that gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV don’t generally have visible symptoms. Just use a condom.
What part of AI don’t you understand?
If you can’t trust AI medical startups operating out of Silicon Valley with pictures of your genitals, well…THEN WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
I mean, to be fair, it also looks like they might be partially financially backed by a foreign authoritarian regime, and they usually have pretty good AI models…so…
We are reaching the phase where ai is de facto a magic spell to be cast on reality, and ai startup are hyping this up. That and taking pics of stranger’s genitals is a dick move.
Yes, I agree. AI is magic and everyone should submit pictures of their genitals.
Hell, I’ve started converting my dick pics into ASCII art and having ChatGPT diagnose me for STI’s.
AI BABY WOOOOOO HOOOOO
I’m just happy we moved to an AI bubble to raise stock prices instead of continuing to lay off essential personnel to do it
AI is not even at the point yet well you can lay off workers and just have the AI do it reliably and safely
Fair enough. Unzip.
Man, what about false positives? Ruined date night at minimum, possibly ruined reputation, relationships.
Sorry, we put a picture of your junk into this box. We don’t know what’s in it, or what it does with the picture, but it says you have chlamydia, and I think the box looks trustworthy. Here’s your divorce papers.
If you get the premium ultra plan you will always report as negative on a scan.
Or if still concerned after the fact, a doctor. Despite what your GOP neighbor might tell you, they’re not all evil quacks and don’t typically take pictures of your stuff either.
Single reason why this is suspicious from the start:
Advertised not to check yourself, but your one-night partner. If it was advertised for self-check it would be bombed with lawsuit for fake medical advices.
Nah, they’d just throw up a disclaimer “Not true medical advice, consult a doctor for actual confirmation” and they’d probably be in the clear
This definitely won’t be misused in any way that would completely destroy the good name of the person taking/in the frame of the image. It’s just one “probable cause” search from a bad day.
what are the chances they build a database to blackmail any individual they want in the future and just say it was leaked
“Not Hotdog.”
“Is sandwich.“
“Meat popsicle confirmed.”
I wouldn’t trust calamari to identify anything tbh
i’m almost certain there’s a hentai like this
It’s a trap!
I’m speechless, ina bad way.
I could care less who sees my junk. I also would not let someone take pictures of it so I can fuck them. I’m galaxies away from being that desperate.
couldn’t care less*
Since I assume you mean you don’t care.
Thank you.
Some STIs, in some situations, have a visible presentation that could be detected.
A false positive is a good thing here, a false negative is a bad thing here. There’s no way this app will not have huge false negatives.
Downside is we have unique buttholes, so I assume that extends to other gentials. Fun new privacy attack here
An untapped mobile device biometric.
Wait, someone actually made Smart Pipe?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Buttplugs to protect your privacy. But only if you are on the toilet for A, not for B.
Hold on babe AI wants to see a picture of your shillelagh first 🤳
Maybe they will use the photo to match it with doctor notes and photos medically taken of the same penis or vagina to then illegally match them to illegally obtained health records. Probably not though.
Not a hot dog.
No more need for Ann Perkins to identify Joe’s problem.
Obligatory Peep Show
Finally, using this we’ll be able to train AI models so we can know what super-gonaherpes looks like
