I gave this image - https://i.imwx.com/images/maps/truvu/map_specnewsdct-109_lts...

and I got this result "I am not really confident, but I think it's a couple of glass vases with flowers on top of a surfboard."

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.

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.

http://www.cloudsightapi.com/api is crazy accurate, it gives "galleon above sea monster painting".

Most likely because they use mechanical turk (people) as per this reddit discussion :) https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/356e76/ask...

I went a different direction; I gave it:

And it came back with, "I'm not really confident, but I think it's a person on a surf board in a skate park."

It suggested that two of the images I uploaded also had something to do with surfing. Maybe it was trained on a lot of surfing images.

It loves things being on top of surf boards
