This is just an ad for their photo service. Which presumably has terrible search features, if it doesn't use AI to analyse them. That's one of the best features in Google Photos!

#22I uploaded an old image of a keyboard PCB from when I was troubleshooting it and it gave a very detailed response including naming the keyboard the PCB comes from, the time of day the photo was likely taken, and where the photo was likely taken.
> ... the time of day the photo was likely taken, and where the photo was likely taken. Possibly from the image file's Exif data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif#Geolocation
Yeah. I have to scrub every photo before I'll upload it. Even the 'remove properties' option in Windows can do some good.

#23I gave the following advice to someone I was chatting with on tinder:
1. Remember that when you send pics through imessage, it sends the exif data which includes location, date when it was taken etc and other info.
2. Disable Live Photos as it often captures things you may not want to capture few moments before and after the pic is taken.

#24As much as I appreciate the effort to create a technological solution that avoids big tech like Google, I find the best way is still prints. I'm usually 'the photographer' in the family and after an event I just order prints to the house of the relevant family members (or bring them over myself). Nothing can really compare to holding the physical product in your hand. Additionally, due to the small cost of prints, th…
Have you checked the privacy policy of your photo lab/printer? It's possible that they're collecting digital copies of your pictures, selling them (or just information about them) to third parties, as well as selling them/turning them over to the police and other government agencies.
Yes, I do. I read the privacy policy of all the websites I sign up for. In fact, that is the exact reason why I never got a Facebook account. When I read their privacy policy when it first came out when I was an undergraduate student, I was horrified and never signed up.
Of course, that doesn't guarantee everything in this deceptive world, but it's the best I can do certainly.

#25It'd be more terrifying if it didn't hallucinate earrings on somebody whose ears are out of frame , make comments about the left shoe of a barefoot child being out of focus, and so forth...
It is terrifying exqctly because it does hallucinate

#26Are machine learning image classifiers new to people? I don't get what's controversial here. How did people think they were searching their photos apps for beach and dog and getting automatic albums this whole time. Am I missing the point of this post/website?
Re: They see your photos
#27These are the obvious things they can see in the photos. Not shown are the various assumptions they'll make about you based on your photos such as: gay, likely uneducated, high income earner, most likely republican, narcissistic, etc. Also not shown is what they'll learn by the totality of the data they collect from your pictures such as how often you go on vacation, how often you're seen in new clothing and what kin…

I uploaded a photo of myself as a child and based on the house in the background, the brand of shoes on my feet, and the clothes my dad was wearing, it flagged me as “middle class”, so at least one part of your claim is incorrect. I suspect this may be the same model google used internally

Making prints easily available could be a good business idea for a photo storage app

Most people don’t even know what machine learning even means or is.
