Auto tagging may be useful for those who can't think for themselves, but they may be better of without tags anyway.
I appreciate that people should more about titles, descriptions and tags.
But for those of us who do, it is a pain in the a**e.
Make it optional, and do an option to delete in organizer, or cancel it altogether.
Whatever makes you think that robots understand my photos?

Opt out on auto tags soonest please. So if I have already tagged an image with cat, you will auto tag them again?
If no opt out then a faster batch way of removing wholly unwanted and intrusive tags.
Gosh, I must be being monetised. Who'd have thought it in this day and age?

In my "Privacy & Permissions" settings, I have selected only "Friends" and "Family" can add tags to my photos, and I am not friends with Friendly Robot. :)
Seriously though, I think the option to have Flickr auto-tag or not would be a good idea.
Or, perhaps, a checkbox when we upload new photos allowing us to decide which photos to auto-tag or not.

I am particularly not a fan of this. Some of the past aesthetic and visual changes were good, some were bad, but that's just my opinion.
This is different because it feels like flickr is proactively altering our content. It seems like a minor process that might be appreciated by many (as I'm sure it will) but I wonder if it might be a bad idea:
• Some people are on flickr not to be viewed by as any strangers as possible, but to share photos in the manner they would like to, and auto tagging at least gives the feeling that the use of flickr in a more modest way is obsolete.
• People's photos can be highly personal and they might attach very specific feelings (and terms) to them, and auto-tagging will likely criss-cross over users' heartfelt borders about their images. I know of several people who would actually leave for this reason alone.
• Frankly, any feature that puts our personal content through a process that identifies something about it and then adds specific labels or tags feels lucky. Certain social networking sites have lost a lot of traffic from users who have felt like control of their own content is being taken away from them.
Personally, I may not have these reactions to the auto-tagging, but it seems inevitable that this feature will greatly bother a lot of people. Some of the layout changes are very disappointing to me, but I would say that's subjective and due to my particular taste for straightforward presentation and my aversion to fussy aesthetics or simplicity (again, totally subjective!). When it come to sifting through our content (which we should admit will always happen) and then _changing_ aspects about it in an automated way, many users will find this very bothersome.

It should be up to the individual how his or her photographs are catalogued not to Yahoo! By taking this right away from us Flickr/Yahoo are also taking away part of the ownership of our photographs.
I feel bullied by auto tagging.
I will not correct inaccurate tags because by doing so I am helping "to improve the experience". I want this experience to FAIL.
I want to be able to opt out of auto tags I do not want to help in their use.
I am considering whether to add my own inaccurate tags as a protest
Some of these points I have already made on another thread but a chap called Matthew Almon Roth told us to "bring it to the Official Thread"

Okay, since you closed my thread I am going to come here to reiterate my point: please for the love of photography, give us an OPT OUT!!!
While I understand the need for SEO and maximizing ad revenue, false information/advertising as a result of bad (and sometimes even disturbing) tags is not the way to go. Let people choose what they want and everybody is a lot happier.
But of course, I am prob. just naive to think that Flickr will care about "happiness" or "choice".

I gladly redirect my original comment to this redirect-thread, here it is:
Auto tagging is an extremely intrusive measure, and once again it takes the user's autonomy away from them. Just like that damn fool idea of resetting the Safe Search filters a notch after clicking through the warning screen.
What the heck are the thought processes behind these daft decisions? Are we just a bunch of kids kept under tutelage or what?
Flickr, you should add an OPT IN and an OPT OUT option!

There should definitely be a "remove all auto-tags" option and an opt-out option.
Also, the current auto-tags are pointless, identifying the least important and most generic aspects of an image (e.g., outdoors, water, vehicle, architecture, group shot). It is the particulars of those things that make tagging useful.

I don't see that Flickr has added any tags to any of my photos -- yet. Is it just for new uploads, or is it retroactive, like when Flickr added "#4" tag to any image that had the number sign and the numeral four in the description?

I’ve been ticked off at Flickr a number of times before – mainly for their tradition of surprising its members with major changes without previous notification.
But Autotagging is a whole new level of stupidity. This process is a HUGE disservice for all those who search. Who on Earth thought it would be a good idea to implement a practice which guarantees a decreased quality of search results.
What’s the point? Shouldn’t members/authors/photographers be responsible to indicate the tags THEY want? There is no way to go through all of our pictures to delete the stupid tags Flickr’s “friendly robots” added.
Add me to the “Want an Opt Out” list.
And while we're at it, have you guys ever thought about sending out a message to your members BEFORE you make changes?

Along with an opt-out, it would be nice if there were a batch/bulk tag edit option (at least I don't know of one). So for those that say universally don't want "photo border" on any of our images, it would be easy to remove it globally.

Adding to the list of annoyed long-time Pro Flickr members, there should definitely be a "remove all auto-tags" option and an opt-out option. In fact, make opting out the default!
I'm a librarian. I've carefully and comprehensively tagged all my photos going back to 2007, all 11,000+ of them. In one fell swoop, Flickr has wrecked my system of keywords. No, birds are not airplanes, and vice-versa! And bicycles are definitely not motorcycles, last time I checked. Sheesh.

What's the point of giving me the option to set my privacy setting to "Only me" being able to add tags, when you ignore my privacy and add yours to my pictures?
Not only is this an invasion of my privacy, most of these auto tags aren't even relevant to the pictures.
Give me an "opt out" choice or I will opt to go elsewhere.

Yes opting out is essential but I notice that if we click on a tag on a person photo it still doesn't show us their other photos with that tag. I'm sure that's something people have been asking for ever since we lost that feature so maybe giving people what they want could be a good step.

Am I correct when I assume that these robot-generated tags were already there for quite some time and used for flickr-wide searches (leading to some very weird results where no correlation could be found between tags, title & description and search results) but only today have been made visible to us?
@ all: Has anyone here been participating in tests for this feature?
My 2cts so far:
Tags added are mostly generic, pointless or inaccurate. I rather tag myself. That said, I don't worry too much about my images showing up in searches when not relevant. It might be different when you upload more sensitive content, people portraits, family snapshots etc

I think there's a misperception that this auto-tagging feature is new. It is not, they've been using it for about a year now. What they've rolled out today is making the auto-tags VISIBLE and EDITABLE to us.
While I also favor a complete opt-out option, making the auto-tags visible has been a top request of users for many months, so we could begin to see and control how the image recognition system tagged our images. So I would see today's new feature (making the tags visible and deletable) as a big step in the right direction (with a full opt-out hopefully coming next). Any tags you see that are wrong have been wrong for a YEAR. It is just today that we finally get to do something about it.

 Ger Bosma: While most of the tags are generic and pointless to those of us who tag our images, I think the intent was to tag the many millions of images that arrive on Fllckr with no tags at all. For people who upload thousands of images at a time, auto-tags could be pretty useful.
In fact I wonder why that wasn't the focus. Maybe the system should IGNORE images that already have tags on them, and just auto-tag images that had none.
[edit: the visible tags are new, but there have been many threads in the Help Forum over the past year discussing the "hidden" auto-tags. Staff confirmed how they worked on a few occasions as well. They accidentally turned this show-tags feature on a couple months ago, so some people got a sneak peek for a few hours.]

I thought I would be able to see the new tags in my tag list so I could easily curate ones I didn't want. But, they are not there. I saw there was a 'You have 13 untagged photos' link, which was probably true before today, so clicking that popped me over to Organizr. It loaded those images, which of course had tags on them.

NO, NO, NO.
Auto-tagging is offensive and unwanted. I don't want random strangers being *led* to my images if I didn't choose the tag -- I am very scrupulous when tagging, and I don't use vague tags like "people" for portrait photos.
My Flickr stream is public, so of course people can stumble across me -- but I deliberately don't join "cats" or "people" photo communities, because I want to avoid the cluttered awards and random activity.
Please make auto-tagging OPTIONAL, and if you insist on offering a 2-landscape-photo-wide option, at least make it OPT-IN rather than mandatory!!

That's a far better idea. Images without any tags may indeed benefit from having some added if they are to the point and not too vague ('outdoors' for example). Still it should be up to the user to decide whether they want that to happen. Images with more than say 5 tags c/should be ignored.
Let's make no mistake about it, the flickr yahoo business model is now predicated on ads, so images that are dead weight and cannot be found serve precious little purpose from that point of view.
Thanks for the other info as well.

I just noticed the addition of flickr auto-tags on my most recent images. I find this feature patronising and downright intrusive.Please desist this auto-tagging or at least give me an opt-out button. Why should I have to waste my time deleting the useless tags? I pay to use Flickr, no that that seems to count for much in terms of customer service and listening to what customers want.
To sum up: I'd like an 'opt-out' for this patronising meddling with my images' tags.

I'd go further than that and replace your 5 with a 1. A good many people have just one or two relevant tags that do the job honestly and efficiently. Adding 3 or 4 generic tags can only hurt both the poster and the searcher.

Ger Bosma: Another issue is tags serve multiple purposes on the site, both public searches and personal in-photostream searches/organizing. Beyond the advertising angle you suggested, Flickr is now trying to move into a cloud-storage space, where every photo we take is automatically copied here (set to "private"). The new Camera Roll is designed to leverage this storage and aid in organization (and now there's finally a bulk-download feature to make it actually useful).
So for people auto-uploading many thousands of images, having auto-generated tags could be very useful for organizing and finding these untitled/undescribed images (not everyone carefully curates their stuff).
Unfortunately these tags are used for public facing searches as well, which don't always serve the same goals. I saw that for certain tags they'd make the "private" tags (like "child"). It would be useful if we could set these tags to "private" ourselves, instead of just deleting them. That way I could use them for personal organization, but it wouldn't affect how they're searched for publicly.

 Matthew Almon Roth:
Feel free to make your points in this one.
Hi Matthew-
With respect, I felt that Flickr's banishing the earlier thread to oblivion after many folks had spent time giving their opinions was unfair. Flickr did not start their thread until two hours had passed since the member's thread was started. Many members (not including me) had spent a lot of time and energy posting their feelings.

You could have cut/pasted the original thread into yours if you wished. Not so clear about the housekeeping.
Cheers

Provide an opt out for autotagging! I have far too many photos to spend time deleting all the MANY, MANY incorrect tags that have now been added to my images. For heaven's sakes, this isn't MySpace. Your users have triple digit IQs and can tag their own photos. Or not tag them, if that's what they prefer. Gah ...

Bringing this to the official thread, as requested:
Buddha's Ghost said:
All of my Native American dancer photos have been autotagged with "costume", which is a term that is found offensive by Native Americans. It is "regalia", not a "costume". Now I must go through all of my photos and delete the offending tags, so I don't look like a douche.
I had checked my powwow photos and didn't see this. But you're right. No need to follow police orders when it's just a bunch of folks in costumes.

Amen, thank you, exactly. By closing that thread, you (Matthew) are essentially forcing it to sink to the bottom of the page (wait, it's not even on the first page anymore! I am floored) so nobody will ever see it, thus covering up all the displeasure people have already expressed. Please don't insult our intelligence.
The truth will come out, whether you banish the thread or not. Responses to this "official" thread is proof enough.

In my preference settings only I can add tags, so please provide an option to disable "tags by robots". I have nothing against innovations but this feels a bit intrusive.

JFC, there's no conspiracy.
Staff closed the other thread and redirected discussion here so there aren't multiple threads floating around. It's easier for staff and other members to follow the discussion if it's all in one place.

Incorrect auto-tags lead to incorrect categorisation in Magic View. I started removing some of the more obviously wrong auto-tags, but then realised that life is too short for that sort of thing. I'd like the option to opt out of auto-tagging, please.
