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.

    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.

      Really weird, I’ve never had a takeout download limit or issue; does it fail on both .tgz and .zip versions? Maybe try just outright downloading a few batches of pics at a time and then uploading them to Immich.

        I’ll have to give it another try and report back. I think it is like 2TB total so I didn’t have enough time to get it on my 100 Mbps. And then some of them failing and having to restart was not helping.
