How about "A man and a dog walking on a sandy beach?" https://taken.photos/photos/man-dog-walking-on-sandy-beach-3...

This is the state of modern AI. Mostly it's still utter garbage.

Re:Show HN: Taken Photos – Free Stock Photos Annotated by AI on Friday September 06, 2019 @08:07AM (#20894883)
Well, there was a bug in my data migration/cleanup script for tags. Thanks for catching.

The 'curated collection' statement means 'there is no adult or NSFW' content. AI does great job with detecting nudity, and as a pragmatic person I decided to keep all scraped adult content and have it served at https://nudes.best/

Re:Show HN: Taken Photos – Free Stock Photos Annotated by AI on Friday September 06, 2019 @07:18AM (#20894634)
Sure, why not. I scrape multiple Russian websites with photos and annotate pics with https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-service...

Surprisingly MS does much better than Google and their https://cloud.google.com/vision/

I tried both and got frustrated with almost random results from Google.

Re:Show HN: Taken Photos – Free Stock Photos Annotated by AI on Friday September 06, 2019 @07:07AM (#20894581)
That's the first thing in my todo list. Thanks for clarifying.
