When I first moved to Hawaii, Apple created all kinds of videos from my personal photos and videos. I finally realized they were reviewing all the contents of my phone that I stored on their servers in iCloud in 2018. I no longer use iCloud or Google Photos online.
I did not choose the corny music. I would have used sounds from the 80's.
Apple included the Bacchus gay bar and also my favorite Surfjack Hotel out of hundreds. Missing the Halekulani.

@blakefox@mastodon.social This actually happens on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac while you sleep. iCloud is nothing but file storage. I know this as I was involved in the buildout of maps services that have to put up with the influx of background low priority API calls that go into geocoding and labeling all of these places. Apple is cheap and does not want to spend the money on any server side ML or video processing to make these.
