Google confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation. That means Gemini seeing who you know and what you do. You likely have tens or hundreds of thousands of photos. They’re all exposed if you update.

      Hivemind. Not the same, but I just did something similar two weeks ago, finally deleted everything from and unlinked OneDrive on my PC.

      I saw an update that started forcing through Copilot piggybacking off it and Edge with everytime back online if the updaters aren’t disabled, and I noticed it on the Photos application first where it didn’t used to exist.

      I noped tf out of that lol
