    The idea that LLMs are just like how the brain works, except limited by running in a CPU, comes from software engineers - not neuroscientists.

    Although there are many analogies that could be made between how CPUs do work and how the brain integrates information, they’re actually fundamentally different and use completely different logic.

    You could, theoretically, create a computing language to work using neurons. And therefore you could also train machine learning algorithms. But that’s like using calculators to sum 2+2 by buying 4 calculators and putting them all together, rather than actually using what a calculator does to get the result, if you get what I mean.

    I recommend using this: https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper

    A couple years ago, Google decided that instead of exporting the photos with EXIF data exactly as you’ve uploaded them, which was the original behavior and how platforms such as OneDrive do it, they are going to completely delete all EXIF from the image and instead also create a .json containing the original data, in a non-standard format. This script is an open and free version of a paid tool that goes through each image, finds the corresponding .json, and puts the EXIF data back on.

    If you don’t do that, when you reupload these photos into a new service, the date will be reverted to the day you’ve downloaded them and location data will be missing entirely.
