I tried a bunch of different images and I got 'two giraffes near a tree' a bunch of times. They were drawn images though.

It says "any image" but I think they really mean "any photograph", based on the samples as well as the stuff I uploaded to it.

I had to share this one, I sent a screenshot of the Yahoo homepage from a while ago (yeah, I had that hanging around...) with the main image being of Donald Trump.

The caption guess was "I am not really confident, but I think it's a television screen and he seems ."

"I seem to be under the weather right now. Try again later :(" i.e. we killed it.

Service appears to be down or "under the weather" whatever that means.

That's disapointing. But it worked once and did very well. I sent this picture http://www.sofoot.com/IMG/img-le-regard-perdu-1460478703_580... and it said "I think it is a football player on the field and he looks :(".

He didn't mistake the football player with a rugby player, a cricket player or else. And +1 for the emoji

Ha, got eerily accurate results. Some funny ones as well, but interesting tech.

I gave this image - https://i.imwx.com/images/maps/truvu/map_specnewsdct-109_lts... and I got this result "I am not really confident, but I think it's a couple of glass vases with flowers on top of a surfboard."

I gave it this one [1], it claims "I think it's a blurry picture of a boat." which is not entirely bad description but obviously misses the point. [1] http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/lovecraft/images/9/95/5b...

Of all things to try to make a brand new AI describe, you give it an indescribable god/priest of R'lyeh???
