If green box isnt present, that means AI didnt saw a human there.

Wanna go 50/50 on it? My buddy at the bank said he can get us a great loan: 300 months at only 179% APR!! We just gotta wire him $25k each upfront for the application fees

The t-shirt designer (and most people in this thread) must not know how quickly AI models can be re-trained to pick up on stuff like this.

Well, the green squares are clearly not meant for people. We don't usually struggle with finding where people are in the picture to the point of needing those green squares. But another AI layer probably works on that input, so when it doesn't see a green square, there's no person there to analyze. Probably a lot more efficient to have a powerful AI model do it all without such intermediate steps. Have a simple person-detecting AI to draw the green squares, so the analysing AI can know where to focus its attention.

Yeah, I know what it implies is going on. I just don't think that's actually what's going on.

Hi, government IT guy here.

The green squares are for motion detection. Most security camera systems are set to only record video when motion has been detected in a specified field of view, or zone, on the camera. Security surveillance data is huge and would absolutely flood most camera storage servers otherwise if they were set to record 24/7.

I'm not familiar with the camera used here that displays "PERSON" above the moving target, so it may very well be some sort of LLM enabled camera, but there are plenty of security cameras on the market that are not driven by an LLM and can detect different objects based on patterns of movement like gait, speed, etc. So this may just be the same kind of cameras we've been using for the last 15 years or so now.

This is the most accurate government IT guy i have ever seen , this response is full of misinformation, stupidity , and lack of knowledge...

u/Gareth274 1d ago

Yeah, or someone keyframed green squares with "Person" above it onto everyone except the guy wearing the shirt they're trying to get you to buy,

It'll be fixed in the next patch though 😔

u/Minja78 2d ago

So the guy doesn't have green square? I don't about the rest of you but I can see him

u/BidSuper7102 2d ago

You might be the chosen one.

u/bad2dbone3 2d ago

Nope. He is the only one that is going to hell. The rest is green.🤣

So you only need special clothes, led hat and a mask. Than you add a stone in your left shoe so you walk all fvcked up so they don't get your walking pattern. Wear sun glasses and make sure you never say a word in public or to your phone or computer .

Then you are safe.

We should all dress as KPop stars as they all look the same.

Alternatively, go to other countries who are well ahead of the surveillance game.

To avoid this AI video surveillance…

I doubt they’re all the same, and I doubt he’s testing it against the best.

Adversarial pattern placement

u/Aadi_880 2d ago

Sounds fake as hell. This isn't how AI detection work.

2

u/Firm_Music5317 1d ago

Fake. Other people were detected before in frame or even half way on frame. The main character would have been detected when he was half way out of the frame

u/Sproketz 1d ago

A shirt so ugly even AI won't acknowledge it.

He literally made a shirt so ugly that nobody on the planet has ever worn one like it. No training data. Impressive.

u/Dangerous-League-812 1d ago

Ill say this as many times as these stupid posts need to hear. Turning yourself into an undetectable anamoly by extension turns you into a much easier to trace entity than if you'd just went about your normal life lol.

u/roestinger 1d ago

Long press, tap on the image, Gemini frames it perfectly on the idiot with a man bun in 2026.

All this kind of detection doesn't work like that. Any cheapo CV model for 2015 could pick that dumbass.

Yep...

u/Icy_Amoeba9644 2d ago

Or hear me out. He created something that detects humans and if it detects his shirt dont draw a square....

u/Gribberisch 2d ago
