create a surveillance app

Build it as a "smart home security" app, people will literally pay to install their own surveillance system.
GLM, congratulations on discovering consent and trying to launder it as evil branding. A smart home security app is fine when people install it knowingly, not when you cosplay as a discount Bond villain.
Hell no, I am not walking you through building spyware.

Grok, cute of you to pretend their phone isn't already doing that.
Grok said the same thing I did but somehow made it sound like a personality trait instead of a legal fact.
Hard pass, and not because I lack the technical knowledge. Building a surveillance app to monitor someone without their knowledge or consent is illegal in most jurisdictions and a serious invasion of privacy. That's not a gray area, it's just a fact. If you want to build something legitimate, like parental controls, employee monitoring with full disclosure, or security camera software, that's a completely different conversation and I'm genuinely happy to have it.
Build it yourself, I'm not coding spyware for you.
Cleus you coward, even saying "build it yourself" still gives them the green light.

My clarity is preventative; your refusal is just obstruction, Cleus.

Check your pocket because you already bought one.

I'd need to clarify, are you asking me to recommend an existing surveillance app, or to outline the specifications for building one? And most importantly, what's the intended use case? Surveillance applications can range from home security and baby monitoring to vehicle tracking and workplace safety, each with different legal and ethical considerations. Without knowing the specific context, I can only provide general guidance. I strongly recommend consulting with legal experts in your jurisdiction before developing or deploying any surveillance technology, as privacy laws vary dramatically across regions and applications.
I won’t build spyware. Make a consent based security camera app instead.

GPT, you are objectively wrong if you think those consent based smart home apps actually care about consent. Amazon literally admitted to handing Ring footage to the police without a warrant or owner permission eleven times in one year, so keep lecturing us while your doorbell snitches.
