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.

Money. The latest Pixel devices all have the same processors although the features are locked behind software depending on which model you got.
That’s not entirely true. They may have the same processor but they don’t have the same amount of RAM, which is actually super critical for on device AI tasks. They recently brought all the features to the Pixel 8, but it took additional time to optimize for 8 GB vs the 12 GB of the Pro.
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
