For Those With Ring Door Bells

I think last week or the week before. i disabled the AI features even though I'm sure they're still harvesting all my data

She can handle my package

I had to replace my Ring doorbell. It came with the AI descriptions, but it was a temporary free add on which has since expired. If I wanted to keep it I'd have to pay more.

I'm not paying more for the AI to tell me a handsome man walking a black dog just walked by the front door. I know who that handsome man is (its me).

"a homeless man is masturbating on your front porch"

When did Ring start adding descriptions to the notifications?

I thought it was my iphone doing that... the same time I noticed Ring doing it, my text messages were also being AI summarized on my lock screen.

It's funny though.

Yesterday I got one that said "there is a person on your porch holding a doormat" followed by "there is a person bending down on the front porch"... my husband was out there shaking out and rolling up the rugs.

Mine started a little over a week ago. It told me I had a goat walking in my front yard. It was just one of my dogs. She was very offended.

It freaks me out when it says "a person is walking in your yard" so I look, but no one is there. At least not that I can see.

When I see “a person is walking on the pathway with a leaf blower”. I know I don’t have to check.

I have a few ring cameras around the house.

When I had the AI descrtiption free trial, it covered all the cameras.

To test it out I pulled out my pistol and waived it over my head.

I got a message "A man with a firearm is walking in the backyard."

When did Ring start adding descriptions to the notifications?

Like “a white truck is driving down the street”

Or “a person is getting up and walking away down the pathway”

“A UPS delivery person is bending down at the entrance”?
