First of all congratulations on a) the science (built on the shoulder of giants...) b) the accessibility / interface and service Wondering if you plan to open up a caption API of any sort? Can definitely use something like this. If you desire the training feedback, then that could be added as well as part of the API. I'd be willing to do that for some images. So if you do add a training feedback API, please make it o…

Thanks! We published all the APIs for free. Check them out @ https://www.captionbot.ai/Home/Magic

I found it curious that this Bot is really bad at recognizing apes: chimpanzees and gorillas specifically. I fed it a lot of the images from a Google image search for these animals and more often than not it either doesn't recognize anything or considers them bears.

Imagine this tech matures and it can be incorporated with bodycams for police, when confronting a subject with objects in their hands it may be able to confidently estimate the probability of being a firearm or not, with better predictability than the police/people.

...and better proveability. Most people are actually unarmed. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/01/black-america... While we're here, let's go the full way and set up a proveable and public way to train a robocop, and I'd trust that more than a human cop. The awkward moment when AIs have more brains than cops (at least under the US system).
