Is there a story behind this that I've missed?
Doorbell cameras are selling the footage to AI companies, so AI is really good at making fake doorbell cam videos
It's just strong evidence that 24/7 footage of most streets is clearly widely available. Doorbell cameras have become effective universal surveillance that effectively anyone can view.
I know about the lack of security and the abundance of cameras open to the Internet, but AI companies should have little to no incentive training their image generation algoritms on those often poor-quality feeds.
I'm a bit out of the loop too but I heard some superbowl advert made people finally think twice about installing a camera connected to the internet on their doorstep.
