Samsung has started showing Samsung Health users a controversial notice requiring them to consent to their data being used for AI training if they want to keep their data from being deleted.
Why would any sane person even use this kind of feature? It’s not even that useful :/.
It’s the kind of thing people think they needed, when actually they dont… Who the fuck needs to know how many steps you did this afternoon? Or how “good” you slept yesterday? How many calories your ate this morning…?
I haven’t seen a single good use case of this kind of tracking device, except for your insurance/bank…
I use a Garmin watch to track my heart rate and variability, but I have a heart condition, so yeah. I agree with everything else though. “High stress detected” yeah, no shit.
Yeah that’s a real use case, i get that! and good this kind of feature exist for people who really need it !
Otherwise I don’t really see why a healthy person would use this feature… That’s my point, now you have for every new phone this feature enable by default…
It’s like giving you earimpaired devices when you actually don’t need it :/
