Can I turn off AI-generated memories in Google Photos on the web?

Google Photos showed a generated image in the memories bar on my laptop. I couldn't find a setting for AI generation or creations in Photos or my Google account. Is there a way to turn it off?

I don't have a confirmed switch for that specific feature. You could check the Photos settings for memories or highlights, but those controls may not stop generated images. If there's no relevant option, sending feedback to Google may be the only direct route to request one.

If avoiding generated content matters more than keeping Google Photos, another option is a self-hosted photo library such as Immich. An unused laptop could run it, though you'd need to manage the setup and backups yourself.

It may help to distinguish the generated image from the monthly Highlights feature. They can both appear as memories, but turning off or hiding one wouldn't necessarily disable the other.
