Since when does the Photos app on the iPhone detect plants in images? Noticed it when looking at my photos – the “I” button in the tab bar changes to a leave and then this info is there in the details. It is cool but does not work always - had quite some which just said “Plant”.
@V_ Since last year. It’s been getting better though. I’ve been using it identify plants I like when I’m walking in my neighborhood
@pratik @V_ Yes, in all of the talk about AI and often that Apple is not doing anything in that area. Historically Apple has referred to it as machine learning and I think this is overlooked as AI. Worth noting too that Apple has dedicated neural processors in it’s devices unlike most other hardware makers. In other words, on-device machine learning.
It’s a fantastic feature that is getting so much better. Not only does it do plants but animals of all kinds, insects, fungi, moss, lichen and on. Also, food! My photo of waffle registers and when I tap the info button I get recipes. And now also, not only does it recognize dogs and cats but it recognizes your dogs. You can tell Photos the names of animals you live with and it creates albums.
Great stuff going on in this app!
