Ok -- my new phone keeps coming up with animations of my photos, it creates videos, etc. It's been amusing occasionally.

This morning I found an awesome video it made of a recent trip, so I started exploring some more.

Since I have location turned on, it groups them together by location. Which was pretty cool.

But then I look at the by Items list.

OH MY!!!

I has my photos grouped by dog, cat, selfies, birds, ... , bowling!!

Seriously?! I don't bowl. I took a setup photo as a joke. And it recognized it!

I didn't tag anything. I didn't sort anything.

Why can't photoshop do this?! This is so awesome. I'd be able to find anything I want.

So for the new cameras that have GPS, bluetooth, and all that junk, are people using google photos with this? Is there anything on the computer that does this type of stuff? At one point I created collections for all my photos through Bridge. When I moved the photos to a different drive, it lost everything.

I suspect you'd need some pretty stout PC resources for this type of processing to run locally. Fairly certain that this activity is taking place on their servers.

Advanced image algorithms (sort of like basic face recognition that you can train your various software platforms to do - i.e. camera, photoshop, etc...).

I share your pain with the tagging and losing work (you mentioned bridge - I spent days cataloging years of photos using a Sony software product only to have it dump everything with a software update). :-(
