That's a fair bit of skepticism. In this case it's justified. It's used to auto-tag photos, either cats, dogs, people, buildings; or if you manually tag people in some photos it will go through and auto-tag your whole library. It's all done locally on the server, no calls out to external services, so it's private. And it works pretty well.
So, yeah. In this case, the ML is useful and justified.
Ok, thanks. So it needs a server, it seems? Can it run as a standalone phone app?
It needs a server. You need a server of some sort of you're synching your photos off the phone. If you're only looking for a different gallery phone app, there are several good ones (and a few interesting, novel approaches) in f-droid.
Cool. Thanks!
