Elon Musk Takes Shot at Google Says Camera Isn't 'Innocent'.

The standalone physical digital camera that Google unveiled alongside the Pixel 2 smartphones last week, uses machine learning to determine when is a good time to take a picture or record a clip. The company received applause for the device when an executive onstage demonstrated the features of Clips. But it's safe to assume that at least one person isn't a big fan of Google's new camera: Elon Musk.

 

Google Clips uses machine learning and doesn't take a picture or record a clip until it sees faces it recognises. The device has been designed to capture the special moments that people often miss out as they rush to make it to the before the camera before the timer ticks off.

The billionaire and chief executive of Tesla took a jab at Google's new camera over the weekend, saying the device doesn't even pretend to have good intentions. In a response to a video of Clips posted by the Verge, Musk wrote, "This doesn't even seem innocent". For instance, the Google Clips lights up whenever it is recording a video or taking a picture, a feature that will ensure people are aware they are being recorded. The machine learning that Google employs to find the best time to capture a shot also happens on the device itself, the company said.Musk returns the favour by not shying away from expressing what he truly feels about things and people.
