Gemini가 Google Photos를 참고해 개인화된 AI 이미지를 생성할 수 있게 되었다. 사용자의 사진 데이터를 활용해 더 맞춤형 이미지 생성을 제공하는 기능 업데이트로, 생성형 AI의 개인화 사례로 주목된다.

Migrating away from #GooglePhotos to #ente. I entertained the idea of self hosting with #immich since it looks pretty and seems to be very active. Decided against it mostly out of convenience. Don't want to maintain an image of immich and manage redundant backups. I'll have our fam's ente photos backed up locally periodically. I have been a proud subscriber of #flickr for 20 years, but I need to be honest with myself that I hardly ever use it and its social features feel naive for our era.
