Could be another “ai is just cheap labor from India” scam.

But more importantly, at what cost here? I mean how much processing power and engineering time is required and at what cost….to try and detect bike thefts?

Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to buy them a new bike?

Are some people likely to object [to being constantly watched by computers that analyze their behaviour and report any detected anomalies to the cops]?

Typically, no, but there is no accounting for some people.

A fitting epitaph for the human race?
