valid - so we should regulate them like assistive devices and make sure there's a certificates one can show so that exceptions can be made (like bringing a guide dog into a dog-free space)

furthermore such tools should be ideally democratized and made public but realistically at least in the hands of assistive tool companies as one user with sight loss notes:

The fact that the technology is backed by Meta means they can switch off that feature at any point. It's not a tech brand made for disability. They could decide they're not supporting it anymore and just turn off the functionality. We've seen that before with other platforms.

and while i've had moments where ive been "wow it would be so cool to snap a pic right now of a thing i don't have time to pull out my phone for" - the downside of such devices becoming as ubiquitous as smartphones so we end up in an era where everyone has a camera on their face at all times sounds too dystopian to be worth pursuing imo.
