I actually want AI on my Nextcloud. As long as it runs locally. We've taken thousands of pictures over the years and desperately need some help in categorising them. Unfortunately so far I wasn't able to find any reliable way to automate it.
Yeah, trouble is that it doesn't really work well with Nextcloud together so I would have to migrate all of my devices.
And in the end it doesn't work much better than NC.
Doesnt categorize (if you wanna be specific: Only faces).
But it sure can search pictures by terms.
Have you tried hiring a couple humans? They're much better than AI. And you help your local (physical or virtual) economy!
Yes, I love giving other people access to my private pictures I explicitly don't host on Google, Dropbox or other external clouds. I usually pay them from the hoard of gold that's stashed away under my bed.
Trusting humans (to any extent) is quite vastly different than trusting corporations, to be honest. But if that's your jingle, you can always do the work with a bulk tagger / gallery assembler. No AI, nor environment killing, needed.
I think they're looking for local "AI" anyway. Since those work directly on your machine, there's no concern around trust (nothing leaves your device) and the resource cost is whatever your hardware uses, or was already using.
There are some concerns still with local models, such as any biases in the training data that was used, but for image classification it wouldn't be that bad.
