It’d be a bit unreliable, though. Not everyone has the same reaction to the same thing, nor do they express it in a similar way.
Someone might think a snake or a spider is cute, whereas another would want to incinerate it on the spot. A third might be concerned because they seem to be injured, etc.
Not to mention that image recognition/emotional analysis has been an ongoing field of research for some time. Making the link is not overly difficult.

You can still turn it off. Not much they can do about your turning it off at the wall.
It wasn’t that long ago that “smart mirrors” were en vogue, which was just a display with a reflective coating.
Although I think that they generally fell out of fashion because people don’t want a contraption for their mirror that they have to plug in and set up.
And it doesn’t preclude the company just deciding your product is no longer worth supporting/going bankrupt.
It might have been fine and seemingly trustworthy to begin with, and then it stops, a few years down the line.
That is a different kind of machine learning model, though.
You can’t just plug in your pathology images into their multimodal generative models, and expect it to pop out something usable.
And those image recognition models aren’t something OpenAI is currently working on, iirc.
name recognition
Though that is debatable, given how hard that they’ve been trying to shed it for the “X” name for ages.

Or even a market that let you just buy individual wallpapers as you want them, like how you used to be able to buy individual tracks in itunes instead of a whole album.
A subscription model is a bit silly.
If they’re presenting it as an authoritative source of information, then they should be held to the standard they claim.
Bit of A, bit of B?
Wouldn’t it still need overhead to chose those blocks and send them instead of the video? Especially if they’re also trying to do it in a way that prevents the user from just hitting the “skip 10 seconds” button like they might if it was served as part of the regular video.
I like how the company didn’t consider using standard software to do it, and then switch to the in-house system that they made later, instead of just having it done by hand instead.
At least in theory you could still do NLP from online sources, but the sheer amount of work necessary to ensure that you got the bots out makes it unfeasible.
Not just that, but the increasing number of sites blocking or having countermeasures against the tools they use also increases the amount of work/makes it harder.
Several years ago, it would have been easy and cheap to noodle up a quick Twitter or Reddit bot to churn through posts and spit out the posts on the other side. These days, you need to pay for that, and in some cases, pay quite a lot.
X (formerly known as Twitter), for example, wants to charge $100/month, and Reddit wants $0.24 per 100 API calls.
You can scrape, of course, but that risks getting you banned, if you’re not going to run into barriers. The website formerly known as Twitter no longer allows you to see parent tweets, nor replies if you’re not logged in, for example.
Or it turns out you accidentally left caps lock on, and now you’re locked out for a few minutes.
Big “if” though, and that would be contingent on the fact that the data is desirable enough that other people are willing and able to host it long-term, even before being able to find a country like that, and set up a torrent. I’ve a few torrents that are dead now, for example, because people weren’t that interested in keeping a copy of what they pointed to/the tracker no longer works.
You’d still need to share the torrent to spread it anyhow, and that runs into the DMCA issue all over again. The pirate bay only hosted torrents and magnet links, but it still got shut down for piracy, way back when. “facilitating pervasive online infringement [of copyright]” is something that can get you shut down, as Limewire found out.
A fair few sites will also wipe image/EXIF metadata for safety reasons, since photo metadata can include things like the location where the photo was taken.
Or, session cookies. They don’t need special privilege to access, and if you grab all of someone’s cookies, you can probably get some valid session cookies for logged in accounts just by checking for some common domains in one/by keyword.
From there, it would be trivial to get into email, social media, and other accounts to do other things with.
It would be trivial to add a “please click ‘yes’ to the UAC prompt to allow verification” screen, so that isn’t really going to stop anyone.
I’ve seen a bit of office malware in the past that did that, where it had a bunch of images instructing you to enable macros and that.
If you can somehow lick a gas, more power to you.
