#3I wonder what this'll mean for startups like https://imagga.com/ and how pricing will change.
Also wonder if they'll bring the ability to train your own classifiers using their networks...

#5I wonder what this means for computer vision startups like http://clarifai.com?
Its hard to compete with Google on a task like image classification when Google has immense computational resources, tons of data, and hoards of top researchers.

They may already had the foresight to train what their Recaptcha looks like.
sort of how the old captcha helped digitize books, people entering recaptchas is free tagging to train vision's net.

#8Great! The recognition seems fairly accurate, based on the examples they provided (haven't used Google Photos myself much, though). I'm still wary, though; I really hope we won't see a repeat of the labeling black people as gorillas fiasco, which happened as recently as earlier this year: http://mashable.com/2015/07/01/google-photos-black-people-go.... The article mentions that Google was looking into how these mistakes can be prevented... I wonder what they did/are doing?

Isn't recaptcha just a checkbox now?

#10It's exciting to see more of these services come to market.
IBM Watson has a suite of vision APIs available that have some similar features.
For example, the demo at http://vision.alchemy.ai/#demo has example images that demonstrate facial detection and identification, label extraction, object identification, and so on.
Another demo at http://visual-insights-demo.mybluemix.net/ uses the Visual Insights [1] API to identify a set of relevant tags.
And the recently released Visual Recognition [2] API allows you to train the model with your own dataset. Demo: http://visual-recognition-demo.mybluemix.net/
