I fed it the "Wat" meme and it thinks it's Pope Benedict. > I am not really confident, but I think it's a man is smiling for the camera and they seem . I am 99% sure that's Pope Benedict XVI Source Image: http://memesvault.com/wp-content/uploads/Wat-Meme-Old-Lady-0... Needless to say, my errant habits of trying to break stuff shine through once again.

Truth to be told it wasn't off too far.

To be fair, that person does kind of look like Benedict XVI... http://worldmethodistcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/...

Hah, yeah but when I got it working again, this time with a screenshot of Jules from Pulp Fiction, it thinks his gun is a camera.

Hmm.

A couple of days ago I think there was a post about Google doing a lot of development and research around creating systems that understand / categorize / comment / recognize images.

One thing I took away from reading about it is that Google has billions of images to train it with from all their different ventures.

Does Microsoft have access to anywhere near the same numbers of pictures?

It's only a matter of time before a repeat of Microsoft's last AI experiment (Tay), when the Internet teaches CaptionBot all of the positions in the Kama Sutra.

For science: it only states "I think this may be inappropriate content so I won't show it" which is a shame :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> rugby or cricket Wonder if it was the ball logo on the player's shirt, the greater popularity of football , or something else that helped it distinguish.

Or if it assumed it was actually an American football player and would have answered the same for all the sports on green fields...

I guess Occam's Razor says we should check the EXIF data.

It is almost as smart as a child. I uploaded a picture of my Notre-Dame vacation photo, and the caption was "A person standing in front of a church"... which is close to my sons "mommy standing in front of that church we went to"
