See the article with video below, which I saw mentioned on social media by people commenting that those being recorded didn't notice the LED light or know what meant.

See this Reddit thread

and the comments in the replies about people being recorded not noticing the LED light at all (especially in bright light, like on a sunny day), and people using these surveillance devices buying stickers to block the LED lights without shutting off the camera, or just drilling out the light while keeping the camera functioning.

Your saying you woudn't record surreptitiously does nothing to assure anyone that others using them won't use them that way.

You're also ignoring the fact that AI companies are data-gathering, using pretty much everything collected for training their AI, and they WILL share that data with authorities including the Trump regime.

So even if you think you're recording just for yourself, you have no way of assuring anyone around you that the Trump regime won't end up with everything your smart glasses capture.

Someone wearing smart glasses and recording at a protest is a threat to everyone at the protest. Someone using a smart phone just to openly record ICE agents is much less likely to end up providing closeup shots of other protesters to federal authorities, or conversations that ICE might think make them a threat to ICE officers who aren't breaking the law, or to Trump. Do you really want to record some angry remark about Trump that could get someone reported to the Secret Service and prosecuted, when they hadn't been serious about what they said and retracted it a second later?

Even if you aren't using facial recognition software, you can't stop others from using that software on what you record.

You're effectively mobile surveillance for the AI bros and government, every time you use smart glasses to record.

And there WILL be creeps using this software to record because they're perverts or hope to record something for blackmail or just to embarrass others.

Your use of AI, all by itself, counts against you being as trustworthy as you would be otherwise, since AI is so often used for fraud of different types, from students cheating, to workers pretending to have done work they had AI do instead, to scams by professional criminals.

Wanting to use AI without others seeing you use a smartphone, and record without an obvious camera including a smartphone camera, does suggest possible deceit even more, and not just convenience for you.

And this could end up making people wearing ordinary glasses appear suspicious at first, which would be really unfair to them.
