Pretty sure the Google algo would feature a isHumanDisplayed() for the photo's that would qualify.

But is Google looking for a human or it just picks the first homonymous human as a poorly automated fallback because there is no other data available?

As far as I know, this worked at least for people like Banksy, Vincent van Gogh, the Zodiac killer and a few others.

From what I can tell, Google engineers would actually write `isObjectDisplayed("Human")`
