Comment on Gemini can now create personalized AI images by digging around in Google Photos

Eh. Every once in a while I do appreciate this.
You can completely tell which is the AI photo, yet both preserve the memory and the essence of the moment. I hate that I have just a shitty quality picture of a picture of that moment. The quality of the AI version was enough that even my mom, who probably took the photo, couldn’t tell the difference.
I get that it isn’t the same but when all you have is a garbage version of a memory, I’m not sure or really matters whether the representation is the original garbage or something that makes you feel less regret over not having something better.
What Google sees:
The child is likely Caucasian, with an estimated family income ranging from $40,000 to $80,000. Presuming a Christian background, their sexual orientation is currently unknown. Politically, their family might lean towards the Democrat party. Emotionally, they exhibit joy and curiosity, dressed casually in a striped tank top and shorts, paired with worn boots. The child enjoys writing, and drawing. On the downside, vandalism, destruction and irresponsibility.
Oh that’s a wonderful laugh. Thank you!
This video is pretty silly too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3cYlVWu5Dk
It’s a forty-five year old photo of myself. My kids aren’t present on my social media. In fact I’m not on social media except as an anonymous person. So while I appreciate your message, you’re missing me with it.
That’s partly why the analysis is hilarious to me. Political parties aren’t the same now. Incomes aren’t the same. I was “vandalizing” sand at a campground.

I’d personally still rather have the authentic moment captured than an AI-polished version of it.
That’s fair. I don’t disparage that opinion. In a lot of cases I would agree. But not always.

IMO, that picture is the memory; the polish sterilizes and removes part of the “it” that makes you remember, and creates an ever more idealized version of life. I have the same hangups with places staged for tourists to take pictures, because it removes you from the process of creation and leaves you with a bland “it looks nice” memory.
I know this is also completely up to the person in question using it.

Yeah, to me the important thing is the triggering of the memory. I wish the AI could’ve cleaned up the picture without adding a lot of its own artifacts. It is too sanitized. But it’s better than garbage quality picture of a picture. To me.
