Why wouldn't google use this as an advantage as an example. Making bad SEO an advantage. Other search engines would have to have a competing strategy to give better results for their consumers.

I've recently noticed that Facebook is already doing that, check it out.

I am curious --- and somewhat hesistant --- to see what it does with more... NSFW material.

Believe it or not it detects adult content!

Could be educational. "Oh, so that's it's called..."

The NSFW checking API is called Content Moderator: https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/content-m...

Some students built a similar project as a chrome extension using the Clarifai API

Interesting! That would be very expensive for API use since it captions the images each time the page loades

This would be a great thing to turn into a plugin for a CMSs like Wordpress, Umbraco, Drupal, etc. Not sure how you could do that with Python though. Maybe even using something like Azure's scm.

The title is wrong. It should be "Altify - uses Microsoft's computer vision API to caption images in an HTML file" -- although it is already wrong in the original website.

computer vision APIs, whether Google, Microsoft or ClarifAi are not a public utility yet, and by using them you give said entities (and any government entity they work with) a copy of your data. You might not care, but some people do.

Note Altify also uploads each of your images to http://uploads.im (looks like an Imgur alternative), and apparently leaves them there:

Wait, is it a piano, or a keyboard? I WANNA KNOW!

Seriously, why you would base any part of your business to Facebook's, Google's or Microsoft's public services.. There have to be more better options for people. Trust issue with these corporations is an understatement..
