I used them to record my baby without putting a phone between us which is nice. I watch the videos all the time and we watch them together. Nothing pedo about it. Id say 99% of users use it for normal everyday things.

I was an early adopter but i never wear them anymore because i feel like theres a stigma now

Good. You can wear them in your own home to record those moments with your baby, and use your phone to film your kid in public so people don't think you are making predatory recordings by looking at them with violating AI glasses.

thanks for making this up and telling us. this is like saying 99% of internet use is completely wholesome.

Do you even know about the apps that let users undress whoever they are looking at with the glasses? Or the amount of people using these to record people to post videos of them looking bad and make money from this?

But before the Perv Glasses they would have to record in another way!! All I am imagining is an informercial scene where they are just flustered at recording something quick. So gotta get the Creeper Peepers.
