As am I. Technology cannot accurately discern intent. Fact checking is the easiest way to do that, and only applies to objective truths. Outside of fact checking, it’s completely guessing, and wouldn’t be reliable enough to be useful to anyone.

Would depend how they work, but assuming we’re using conventional technology and not some magic doohickey that can 100% verify the truth, then you’d probably just get shunned by your peers. Technology cannot accurately verify whether someone is lying unless it’s about an objective fact, and even then, its database may be out of date when someone’s informing you of a new discovery. If you’re using an LLM, then it may just make random shit up. And if you’re using a corporate LLM, then you’re transmitting everything you see and hear to some corporation, where they may keep that data for whatever they please, simply so you can have a popup that tells you either a lie itself, or something you should be able to surmise by yourself. You’re not a corporation, so likely people wouldn’t revolt against the glasses like they do against Facebook’s, they’d just stop talking to you.


They launched it from Big MT.
My apologies for taking yours, most hypothetical discussions I have still operate under the pretense of reality and what’s currently possible.
I imagine if they were 100% effective by some means, you still wouldn’t be very popular. Lies are a pretty common part of human conversation. You might get sick of them constantly alarming you for small, white lies. Unless you could filter them to only alert for bigger lies, in which case they’d probably find some use by law enforcement and intelligence agencies, but probably still not be very well-liked by the average person.
