Google wants its AI to see all the photos of “you and your loved ones.” Billions of users must now decide.

Kinda creepy. I was about to migrate to Immich, fortunately I’m not in the US, so I don’t get that update yet. It does seem like a lost battle, anyway :( Even if I migrate to a privacy-respecting FOSS solution, my friends, family, acquaintances and random people around me will not (well, some may). I will still be featured in their photos out of my control.
Even if we migrate to something else and “delete” the photos from the cloud Google still has them, I’m sure they’re training with them either way. Why wouldn’t they when no AI companies ever seem to face any consequences?
I will start just using Immich from now on though
