Are you sure? Because in a prior article on the same source your parent linked it would appear that it is being used with QuickLook[0].
"While VLU is taking place, the image being looked up is opened in the floating window of a QuickLook preview."

- btown 4y agoHmm, there is some ambiguity in the author's writing style. I interpreted what you quoted above as "if you are in Safari.app or Preview.app and activate VLU explicitly, it displays the image in a QuickLook window." The author does say in https://eclecticlight.co/2023/01/18/is-apple-checking-images-we-view-in-the-finder/ https://eclecticlight.co/2023/01/18/is-apple-checking-images... that: > Although the original description given was ‘Finder browsing’, for some that might include the display of images as QuickLook Previews, by selecting the image and pressing the Spacebar... [The process triggered from this] is consistent with the briefer task used in Live Text, and quite different from VLU. There is thus no evidence of the generation of neural hashes or any search query by PegasusKit typical of the later stages of VLU... > Local images that are viewed in QuickLook Preview undergo normal analysis for Live Text, and text recognition where possible, but that doesn’t generate identifiers that could be uploaded to Apple’s servers.
- mftb 4y agoUnderstood. My own personal take-away, is that even with all the digging those folks have done it is not possible to know what Apple is actually doing. Which kind of reinforces your original point in the comment that I was responding to.
