Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sure, why not. I scrape multiple Russian websites with photos and annotate pics with https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-service... Surprisingly MS does much better than Google and their https://cloud.google.com/vision/ I tried both and got frustrated with almost random results from Google.

Those platforms you're sourcing the photos from presumably have content restrictions, which causes the "nude" tag to be dominated by photos without any humans in them. For example this flame: https://taken.photos/photos/2568745/

Well, there was a bug in my data migration/cleanup script for tags. Thanks for catching.

The 'curated collection' statement means 'there is no adult or NSFW' content. AI does great job with detecting nudity, and as a pragmatic person I decided to keep all scraped adult content and have it served at https://nudes.best/

Interesting. You _really_ need some way for folks to suggest improved captions.

A tree with a mountain in the background.... completely ignoring the house which is the central focus of the photo.

or the aforementioned "A cat sitting on top of each other"

I'm thinking this is a great _starting point_ a way to bulk ingest lots of photos, but as a resource i'm going to loose faith in it every time i see an obvious AI screw up. Technically yes, they're still useful titles that help (well, they would help if you had a search which I can only assume you're planning because otherwise what's the point) but _emotionally_ i'm going to be "yeah but they're always wrong" (even if it's not true)

How about "A man and a dog walking on a sandy beach?" https://taken.photos/photos/man-dog-walking-on-sandy-beach-3...

This is the state of modern AI. Mostly it's still utter garbage.
