thats pretty creepy. I find it unnerving that they know exactly where my cursor is.

would be creepiest if your cursor moved somewhere related to what you were saying outloud.

the capability is there, your local hardware determines how seamless it would be.

		I made something related to this with whisper. It would just constantly listen and periodically do a search to find a picture/video/gif from the web, relevant to what you're talking about, and show it.

And yet, so many people think Cursor-camp[0] is great.

Mental framing of a tech is weird.

		HN comments really can't beat the spectrum stereotypes... But seriously, the parent comment isn't saying the technical fact a browser can see your cursor's coordinate is unnerving. They're saying the experience of being reminded of this fact is unnerving. Technically, every time you take a bus ride the driver can just decide to crash the vehicle and kill the passengers and himself. This fact itself isn't unnerving -- it's just how buses work. But if there were a poster on the bus reminding passengers of that, that'd be quite unnerving.

		This demonstrates a surprising lack of empathy. It’s unnerving because people don’t like being watched.
