Not disagreeing with you - but this reminds me of my college job spending all day looking through personal photos.
I put myself through school working at a one-hour photo shop in a drug store. It was my job to feed the machine, keep the chemicals balanced, paper loaded and perform white-balancing and cropping to make sure the end result matched customers' expectations. It was a relatively small town, and I lived in the same neighborhood that I worked in - so I basically saw 80% of my neighbor's photos during the development, cropping, and packing process. I saw hundreds of baby's in bath tubs, and bare a* toddlers on the run, in the mud, etc. Also saw a lot more bedroom photos than you (or at least 17yo me) might expect.
In the three years of work, I only had one roll of film for which I called the police. It was obvious child abuse. I stopped the machine, called the police and they collected the film directly into evidence and made the arrest when the person came to pick it up. The guy in question thought that the 1hour process was "all automated" and he was pissed that somebody was looking at all his photos.
Not sure that has anything to do with the iPhone AI scanning - but it might be an anecdote of interest to those that don't remember a time when somebody looked at all your photos as part of the creation process.
