I can see the utility in this.
I have tens of thousands of photos, it’d be nice to search “[daughter’s name] holding blue teddy bear” and have it come back with the exact picture I have in mind but would struggle to find.
Is it worth the privacy and potential security issues, though? I’d say hell no.
I look forward to the future where we have powerful, energy efficient neural processing hardware, and a robust open source software ecosystem to do this in a more trustable way offline and on-device, or on a Nextcloud home server or something like that.

Yay all I need to do is to upload all my photos in their servers for just a little training
I didn’t understand until I looked at the screenshots.
Overall, why?
To shoehorn Gemini in more things. This has utility but it’s getting beyond ridiculous.
No thanks
Looks like I switched to Immich right on time.
Unfortunately deleting my photos out of Google now is a futile exercise. No matter what Google says, I’m convinced that they just make the photos unavailable to us, but don’t actually delete anything, ever.
