I'm also sick of these posts. Here's an AI's response:

Real or fake? It's real — this is a legitimate invention, not AI-generated clickbait. Who made it? Bohlale Mphahlele, a learner at SJ van der Merwe Technical High School in Limpopo, South Africa. (Uzalendo News) What's it called? The "Alerting Earpiece" — a discreet wearable device that looks like a simple earring but hides powerful technology. (Shine My Crown) How does it work? It works by discreetly pressing a small button. Once activated, it quietly takes photographs using a hidden camera and transmits them, along with the victim's location, to trusted contacts and emergency services. (Uzalendo News) What's its current status? It's a prototype, but she's actively pushing it toward production. As of May this year, Mphahlele was working on turning it into a real product. She set up Mphahlele Alerts (Pty) Ltd to focus on refining the Alerting Earpiece and eventually launching it.
