Is technology moving too swiftly for some people?

Heck, is technology moving too fast for ALL OF US?

Well, whatever these folks are up to, it might be too late to slow it down now…

And that can be a creepy feeling.

In today’s story, a person admitted that the AI glasses that their co-worker wears makes them uncomfortable…

And they want her to stop wearing them at work.

Check out what they had to say about this situation.

AITA? Is it unreasonable to ask a colleague to take off her AI glasses when speaking to me?

“A woman at my workplace recently bought Meta-Rayban glasses and now wears them everywhere. She has normal prescription glasses.

I know they are not necessarily recording all the time, and I’m not trying to make a big deal out of someone’s personal tech. But I feel uncomfortable having conversations with someone wearing glasses that can record audio and video without it being immediately obvious.

Now what…?

It feels different to someone holding up a phone, because at least then you know you may be recorded.

Would it be unreasonable or petty to ask her to take them off when speaking with me, or is this a fair privacy boundary in the workplace?”

Reddit users shared their thoughts.

This person chimed in.

Well, our dystopian nightmares are coming true, apparently!

Oh, great, what’s next…?

Can we pump the brakes on all this stuff, please?

They’re pretty creeped about by these AI glasses…
