Forget the robots – this is the reason AI is the best thing to happen since smartphone cameras

Lately, it's been hard to escape the parade of marching, wiggling, and even sensual AI-powered robots, but I'm here to tell you that humanoid AI is a mere distraction – the real power of all those models and generative AI is found in something far more pedestrian that won't cost you $20,000.

I'm talking about Gemini Ask in Google Photos.

I know, that doesn't sound very sexy, but the true potential of AI lies not in how uncomfortable a gyrating robot cam makes you feel, but in AI's innate ability to dig through vast reams of data to find meaning... or, in my case, the exact image I needed in the exact moment I needed it.
