Vandals deface ads for AI necklaces that listen to all your conversations

The article discusses the vandalism of subway ads promoting AI-powered necklaces that can listen to conversations. The necklaces, which are designed to provide information and recommendations based on user conversations, have faced backlash from critics who view them as an invasion of privacy and a threat to human relationships. The ads were targeted by vandals who covered them with stickers and messages condemning the use of AI technology to monitor people's conversations. The vandals argue that the necklaces undermine the value of human-to-human interactions and that the technology should not be used to gather personal information without the consent of the individuals involved. The article does not provide further details on the specific features or capabilities of the AI necklaces, nor does it offer any insights into the motivations or identities of the vandals. The focus of the article is on the public backlash and the act of vandalism itself, rather than an in-depth analysis of the technology or the debate surrounding its use.
