UPDATE! The founders of Calmara wrote a wildly snide response on LinkedIn to my article. They did not answer any questions about privacy concerns or the lack of age verification. www.linkedin.com/posts/lumeil...
Whenever someone unironically uses the 🤣 emoji you know they are a complete moron
I wish I were the kind of person who could ask pointed, thorough questions in reply, but I'm just not. This is my response. If you'd like to be a smarter critic, please do go leave Mei-Ling some comments asking how they plan to use the images they collect. www.linkedin.com/posts/lumeil...
Would take me maybe 15 min to write an AI that's like a doctor visit, but without all the pervy stuff. It responds 40 minutes late for your appointment, writes you a couple of scripts for antibiotics and orders for lab work.
Doesn't that fall under FDA reqs.?
They want to use AI to detect STI's? So you have to upload photos?? I'm trying to imagine any other way to do this but no this is bad/bad/bad.
Is this the next theranos? Probably. Short them if they go public will be a windfall
“Functions like how a visit to a doctor is like” - leaving aside the bad English and also claiming in reply:reply:reply:reply that “we don’t claim to diagnose”, this thing could easily be pulled for false advertising. I’ve never seen something so insane pretending to be legit.
So their "AI" recognizes that a dick has lesions on it, which allows them to potentially recognize an active herpes flare or primary syphilis lesions. Meanwhile missing chlamydia, gonorrhea, later syphilis, latent herpes, and HIV. So it's... useless?
