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

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.

    Like the other comment said, I did a Google takeout of my photos, then used immich-go to transfer them. Was pretty painless, got it done in a few hours, probs less if I was less dummy.

    Here’s the guide I followed.

      Thank you! I didn’t realize you could just do a Takeout. I started the process last night and hopefully will be able to transfer them soon. It was completed relatively quickly, so I wonder if it will really have everything…

      My problem is that I can’t download the whole takeout before it expires. Or some fail and they only allow so many retries to download.
