Side note: LOC for the example API call in JS: 13 Python: 9 Curl/Bash: 1 Swift: 60

Where is this? 9 lines for Python seems excessive. Should surely only be two, one of which is an import?

In the "How does it work" section at the bottom. You're right, Python could be much shorter, it defines a few variables for prettiness.

Don't have french cheese around me right now, I tried with the first google image of camembert and it mislabeled as brie... On a tangent, as I'm developing a similar ai powered pwa, what's, in your opinion, the preferred way to let the user shoot a photo and upload it? Leverage the native camera/upload UI (like the cheese app) or using a custom html/js UI without leaving the app (something like this [0] demo not mine…

To be fair camembert and brie look identical from the outside ( and even mostly inside).

In other words, there cant be a Shazam for cheese. It’s an impossible task.

My rule of thumb is: if expert human eyes can't classify a thing looking at it, the ai will also fail.

In this case it should be uncertain and return more than one result.

That’s not entirely true. For example, ML is used in radiology to find problems that are too subtle for the human eye to detect.

No you cannot say that my Comté affiné 36 mois is a slice of gruyere instead.

To be fair, Comté and Gruyere are pretty much as similar as 2 different types of cheeses can get.

visually, maybe. in taste, not at all. Comte and Beaufort maybe, Comte and Gruyere? no way
