It's not at all working. Every time, the same thing pops up - "I am under the weather now. Try again later. :("

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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??? :)

It is important to unit test the boundary conditions.

Silly Microsoft, should have at least had some caching layer instead of analyzing every image. RIP CaptionBot.

I gave it a photo of a Cylon [0] and it said "I am not really confident, but I think it's a close up of a motorcycle." Close but not really there; Google's reverse image search has a better detection in this case. As an aside, it'd have been really cool if it said it was a picture of a toaster.

Took a few tries but worth it - my son from the other morning:

Edit: They should have named it CationBot.

Pretty good. Can't wait to see how good this tech gets in the next few years.

Android users: do you get a lack of memory/resources error when you try to take a pic instead of selecting from gallery? It is a silly bug where the camera activity kills the browser activity that called it.

Google: we cannot move forward with 'Progressive Webapps' if you guys don't fix these silly bugs.

Take-picture-do-something is a common feature of webapps like here Mr CaptionBot!!
