Hi Apple users, Apple released a fun thing where they take your photos and Siri transcripts and use them to train AI! And they may be automatically turned on without your knowledge, because oh boy they sure were for me!!!!!!!!!!!!
Open the âappsâ section in your settings (itâs usually at the very bottom), go to photos and scroll until you see âEnhanced Visual Searchâ and then turn that shit off. Then go to âPrivacy and Securityâ, scroll until you see âAnalytics & Improvementsâ, and turn off âImprove Siri & Dictationâ as well.
âI am an artist with hundreds upon hundreds of my artworks in my photo album. I also have plenty of photos with not only my own face, but the faces of my friends and my family. I do not appreciate that being used to train AI without my consent, and Iâm pretty sure itâs the same for others too.
Iâm so tired of big companies.
EDIT: I made a mistake this feature isnât used to train AI, but it does still take your photos to be analyzed by AI. This is a feature that was automatically turned on without notice, giving nobody the option to turn it off or on until they find it themselves.
