"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Google confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation. That means Gemini seeing who you know and what you do. You likely have tens or hundreds of thousands of photos. They’re all exposed if you update.

That title and excerpt are really misleading. This isn't some app update you install and suddenly Google is scanning all your photos like that Apple CSAM thing that backfired. You have to enable Gemini, then enable Personal Intelligence inside Gemini, and then enable Google Photos linking inside Personal Intelligence.

It's still a dumb and creepy feature in search of a problem that doesn't exist, but it's behind three layers of opt-in.

Is it safe to assume it's disabled if I've disabled all AI within workspace

That depends on how willing you are to take Google at face value.

For now. How long before Alphabet forces it down your throat?
