Is Yandex AI trying to outdo Tinkoff?

At one time I read how the voice consultant “Oleg” from the Tinkoff company recommended the user to do “Roskomnadzor” as a solution to the problem.
I thought it was a joke.

Recently I decided to try Yandex360 in the Premium version, right at the entrance a bug was discovered I found a feature with a 50% discount (thanks crooked marketers, I’ll tell you about it separately someday). Included with Premium is unlimited storage of photos from your phone under the slogan “Memories will not be erased“*.
(* -Voice of L. Kanevsky: Of course, they won’t erase themselves. While you pay money, it is stored. Stop paying – they'll erase it. )

Of course, when installing the Yandex.Disk software on the communicator, their YaGPT neural network (or rather, the “specialists” who train the neural network using user content) really wanted to take my “Camera” folder from the communicator and several terabytes of data in it, representing a small archive of photo cards from the last 10 years .
Well, at that time I didn’t yet know that neural network algorithms would touch them with their crooked tentacles, and I thought, what about kindness they want to stupidly extract more content from me so that later I will have aOGreater motivation to fork out money to extend the tariff to preserve the priceless moments of my life captured on camera.
Hehe…

Flower mood

Flower mood

But then Yandex decided to please me with its neural network algorithms, which it notified me about with an unobtrusive push –
Flower mood.
The photo thumbnail already gives a hint, right?
And the text –
Admire, replenish – …enough for everyone…”

Of course, I can assume in my feverish delirium, after a couple of liters of Singapore Sling, that Yandex has developed a real Artificial intelligenceand not a stupid set of algorithms with a large database of templates, this AI suddenly decided to create a selection ITSELF, chose a topic for it, wrote the text and did everything else.
Just like in the musical work Noize MC sang:

Let my blues play from Spotyfy. I'll stick to safari for now.
Hey computer, play some porn for me. And quickly jerk off my dick.

But it’s unlikely that Yandex technologies have reached such a UX, so for now “On my own, everything on my own…”©
So, with a 99.9(9)% probability, the creation of this collection is mainly led by some junior under the supervision of a stern team lead from the Yandex team.

So what did the artificial intelligence of the pogromist from Yandex send me?
Let's open the selection “Flower mood“.

No, what did you expect? Half-naked owners of a set of XX chromosomes in chamomile fields? Aunt Tamara selling bouquets at the market with a hangover? Stas Mikhailov drowning in bouquets from brutal fans?
I am a reportage photographer, I have flowers in the frame either in a coffin or in a cemetery. Weddings are not my thing – everyone moves there, and I like calm clients…

And now the “brilliant” Yandex AI collects for me a selection of flowers from my photo archive. Mostly carnations, mainly from the Piskarevskoye Memorial Cemetery.
And he finishes it off with the signature:

Admire, replenish
Disk enough for everyone
bouquets.”

Even me, with professional cynicism at the Kishkin leveldick” – shuddered.
Once or twice.

That is, in Yandex, the team lead set a task for June: We make selections for users about flowers. Now spring is over, the thawed shit on the lawns has been hidden by dandelions, let’s make our users happy.
The team simulating the work of AI wrote in Yandex.Photos – Flowers. They were shown something with pistils and stamens but did not look like naked women, they checked the box in the kanban – ✓made✓ and soaked the release.
Think with your head? Put “+Carnation Flowers” in the script? Write AI promt “We issue photos of flowers if there are no crying people, coffins, graves in the adjacent frames +\- 10 pieces and the geotag is not equal to the territory of the cemetery on Yandex.Maps” ???
No, if you think with your head, the KPI falls.

What's next? Autumn is just around the corner, it's time to harvest. Zucchini, cucumbers, eggplant… -dildo, -like a black man's, -silicone (this is a help for Yandex “specialists”).

I was told that Yandex.images are available upon request
“Photographer Incineration Plant”
my photo is in one of the first places.
So, I’m ready to give up my place in line at the plant for “specialists” in charge of AI at Yandex.
They need it more… enough for everyone.
