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

What a twisted "feature". Ynow they could be working on device local models that categorise your photos making searching for something much easier but i guess thats too useful to do.

ios actually does this, i can search for generic terms like "cat" or "panda" to find exclusively images/videos of those animals, but i can also search for a specific person (if their face is visible in the picture i want to search for) and they're also categorized like that

I'm curious, iPhone might be powerful enough to run the models locally given enough time but do you know if it's actually that or Apple runs the models on their servers and then sends you back the searchable tags from the models to attach to each respective photos metadata

there are also third party apps that use AI classification, and afaik it's a local feature exposed by an ios api

oh shit, I've never used iOS but this looks cool af https://developer.apple.com/machine-learning/
