Not for me, I hate them. BUT. I watched a documentary recently where a blind man wore a pair (the Meta ones maybe?) and was able to use them to navigate around on foot, alone, without other aids. He also tried out a self-driving car, and showed how he already uses his phone’s AI to help him; for example he gets it to describe the shirt he’s about to put on. The programme shook my ideas up. I hate AI, driverless cars, all this tech that takes away our autonomy in various ways. But I hadn’t considered that for many people it’s liberating, it gives them independence.
@MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works yeah, as displays get added these can be very helpful for deaf people as well since they already offer real-life captions for conversations for example.
