Computer-aided distractions

imageYou just have to walk around any city to see how many people are totally distracted by their personal electronic devices (phones. iPads or watches). Well here is another distraction, CaptionBot, from Microsoft’s cognitive services, its and AI driven softwareBOT that attempts to describe the contents of your photos. Because you can rate its performance, it is probably using you to help train it to recognize objects with a higher precision.

My tests didn’t go so well … no 5 stars for captionBOT
