Shows all the information Google gets from just one photograph, using Ai.
Best part? The description supplied here is probably a limited version of all the information that Google infers from each of your photographs. It would make sense to ask for a short 3 paragraph summary of key observations to fit within API limits. On Google’s end? No reason for such limits to exist. So they infer even more from your data than this website can show. And they run this kind of compute on everything you give them.
They “claim” that they don’t sell or share this data. Do you trust them?
You might say you have nothing to hide, but you also don’t get to control the shifting definitions of what’s acceptable. Today you’re fine. Tomorrow you’re labeled a political dissident because of the evidence of Wrongthink that Google happily supplied to the government without your knowledge. Especially in light of the incoming administration, this is an important discussion to have.
Here is a list of FOSS Google Photos alternatives. Immich looks particularly good to me.

It is! Been running it for a few years now and I love it.
The local ML and face detection are awesome, and not too resource intensive — i think it took less than a day to go through maybe 20k+ photos and 1k+ videos, and that was on an N100 NUC (16GB).
Works seamlessly across my iPhone, my android, and desktop.
