No I wouldn't consider these as viable everyday wear, but given how badly nearsighted I am, they still give me much better focus than my natural vision.
I got 2 pairs of these delivered today for only $7.16 total ๐

Of course they're not perfect, but when you compare 2 pairs of these for $7.16 to my actual prescription which last cost me $217, well why the hell wouldn't I buy a couple pairs of these as cheap backups. I'm probably gonna give my mom the other pair for Christmas.
As far as AI face recognition, a large part of that is tracking the exact dimensions and ratios of your eyes, eyebrows, nose bridge area, etc. If cameras can't see those features, they're hard pressed to even register the image as a face, let alone try to identify the person.
Regarding your points...
I actually have 3 pairs of glasses, one prescription and 2 others that happen to work perfectly for me that were thankfully donated to me, one of those pairs is even better than any prescription I've ever had, so I think I'm good on prescription glasses for a while thankfully.
Hence the hat, and guess what, I'm not even wearing the same hat that I wore for the photo...
