Comment on Kohler Can Access Data and Pictures from Toilet Camera It Describes as “End-to-End Encrypted”

  You’re telling me there’s zero valuable information in photos of feces?

  Nope. I’m saying a private company and whatever training set they have, plus a cheap RGB camera and an AI model, is not going to give you any information that you can’t derive by simply looking at the feces yourself, much like the table you just linked. Though that table itself is an oversimplification that, being unable to take other parameters into account, also contains potentially misleading conclusions.

    Yes and you don’t have to hire a plumber to fix your sink if you’re a plumber.

    The point is:
    1. Professional analysis
    2. (more importantly) Automated logging (no pun intended), potentially for human medical review periodically, or at a later date.

      You are severely misunderstanding the point being made. Imagine you have a leaky pipe, you hire a professional plumber, they charge you $500 and say “yep, I can take a look and I conclude it’s a leaky pipe!”

      What I’m precisely telling you is that this company can’t provide the professional analysis you just commented.

        And why not?
