During my time on Twitter today — I am trying to limit this time for fear that my head will explode — I noticed that it was #nationalpuppyday. In these times of #coronavirus, who could resist adding a little joy to the world by posting a few puppy pics?
Always a fan of the photo recognition software on Google, I thought I would try to quickly find some pictures of two fave pups in our family, Murphy (owned by Erin and Spencer) and Charles Barkley ( owned by Will and Nats). I just searched my photos for “dog” and lo and behold, they popped right up.
Yes a dog - Murphy
Yes a dog - Charles Barkley
Armed with great confidence in the power of AI image recognition, I looked at some of the other “dogs” surfaced in my image search, and ran smack into the problem of false positives.
Not a dog - Panda
Not a dog - Deer
Not a dog - Geese
Not a dog - Deer
Not a dog - Fox on top of a bell
Not a dog - Granddaughter
Stay safe, everyone. And if you’re interested in re-starting my “8 things” project, check out the details HERE.
