HUMXN is paying for plumbing, electrical, HVAC and cleaning visits so technicians can film the work for robot training data.
The reality check
The free offer is real, per HUMXN's release. The footage is licensed to approved organizations it does not name, and its privacy policy is marked as a template that counsel must complete.
Why care? Free here means a camera in your home under terms that are not finished. Ask for the licensing and deletion terms in writing before the technician arrives.
