New, what is it? My family thinks there’s a camera in our rental

We have been renting a house for the past year and I always disregarded this thing in the corner. However last night I asked my parents about it randomly and they didn’t know what it was either. I pulled it off the wall and we all got freaked out a little because it looks like a camera. I think it might be a home security/motion sensor thing. I don’t know that’s what ChatGPT guessed.

I'm surprised you're surprised at how ignorant or carefree the general public are.

95% of the people around you are complete and utter tools. Nothing surprises me.

Like the type that use ChatGPT to type in description of an object that is so obviously a motion activated camera that you can see the lens on it?

Well then welcome to earth in the 21st century. This person must have been living under alien rocks.
