Get the fuck off big tech photo storage apps if you're still on them for some reason. Coworkers have been discussing gen AI photos in your gallery (hexbear.net)

So that if there's a big event like a Taylor Swift concert you couldn't go to and they detected you're most likely a fan, they'll gen AI a photo of you at the concert

If you missed a Christmas gathering with your family, they'll gen AI one for you

If like Japan but haven't been there yet, they gen AI a whole vacation album of you there

They're literally trying to embed fabricated events into your life and brain lmao

People are largely very excited for this idea. All the apps between different companies constantly copy each other to achieve feature parity, there's no escape. You will live a life of luxury and excitement whether you want to or not

I don't think any phones are close to powerful enough to do that yet are they? Isn't computer vision really intensive or something

Yeah but surely can't be much more power hungry than what your post proposes. Unless they're planning on processing this on cloud compute at the businesses expense which just sounds like a way to burn millions for no good reason.

Also seemingly every single device is adding tensor cores these days so maybe in the future it could actually work locally. One can dream about AI producing at least 1 useful feature lea-sad

Androids dominate the mobile market and the huge majority of androids are lower end devices. World isn't just the West

And no big techs photo storage app is profitable by itself. It's a loss leader, packages type of deal for all these companies. They're already spending millions for hundreds of current models on every single photo and even video
