The phrase “privacy nightmare” gets thrown around a lot, but an online service taking pictures of your screen every few seconds does not sound worth the risk of exposure of personal information.
As for someone needing physical access to your device in order to access those screenshots, there’s no way that’s correct.
If they’re locally stored on your machine, those screenshots can be accessed by an intruder.
Seems like a long walk for an extremely limited scope of benefit.
Yeah, it’s not stopping me from commenting. I’m only noting the downvotes in this case because I was making a point elsewhere in the thread about the extremely anti-AI sentiment around here. In this case I’m not even saying something positive about it, merely speculating about the reason why Microsoft is doing this, and I guess that’s still being interpreted as “justifying” AI and therefore something worthy of attack.

Drowning a baby in bathwater.
I was asked what the reason for this function was, so I speculated on that reason in an attempt to answer the question, and I got downvoted for it.
I wasn’t addressing the privacy concerns at all. That wasn’t part of the question.
Bummer, I didn’t downvote you.
I think that’s the nature of the beast here, don’t take the fake Internet points too seriously.
