Yes. There are ways to group images that seem to be the same. TinEye and Google image search do that. So you'd have a collection of related hashes that equal "Bob's prom photo where he looks like a goofer."

Yes definitely I have seen it work in action but you cant just tell a user "here use this smaller and more pixelated version of your image that we think is kind of similar".
