No, Joe Chernov's grandfather is not a picnic basket, but iPhoto seems to think a picnic basket is Chernov's grandfather.
To make a point about the next generation of technology in which "data
will learn," Chernov touted the iPhoto Faces app, which he described as a really cool feature in iPhoto that "learns" who people are in users' photos based on the patterns that users use to tag their
photos.
But it's not perfect, Chernov noted, "It insists that a picnic basket is my grandpa."
