Editing Introduction to a Self Managed Life: a 13 hour & 28 minute presentation by FUTO software (section)

==== Machine learning for image search ====

I can type ''“cat on chair”'' and have every image of a cat on a chair show up. It actually works, it isn’t half assed and full of false positives.

Immich’s machine learning features &amp; included libraries are also used for '''face detection'''. Immich can sort your images by people, so you can see every image with your dad, cousin, girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, etc.

You can [https://huggingface.co/immich-app choose the model you want to use]. The default model works best for me, but I appreciate Immich respecting my right to choose the model I want.

Immich’s machine learning is done LOCALLY. '''Immich can be blocked from connecting to the internet and all machine learning &amp; facial recognition will still work.'''

When people hear the words ''“Artificial intelligence,”'' ''“cloud,”'' &amp; ''“machine learning,”'' they hear buzzwords for processes which were supposed to be used for our benefit, but instead have become tools of data mining &amp; abusive models. These are not bad things when they are done in a freedom-respecting way. I have no problem with machine learning algorithms going through all of my photos &amp; videos &amp; knowing the names of the people in my photos, because that information will never leave my computer.
