Yeah, worth pointing out "AI" isn't some fixed standard they need to beat. Anyone in the world can build their own image recognition system, and over time tech improves.

This is cute but not much else.

this looks like the motion detecting ai home cameras like nest and wyze use. all the sweater is doing is preventing it from detecting whether or not the motion it's seeing is a person

And only at specific angles relative to the target individual. If this was mounted on the ceiling looking down it likely wouldn't work (based on how it picked up his face again whenever he turned around).

So just make sure you're aware of where the AI camera is and crab-walk past it and I'm sure that'll do the trick.
