Okay, now I'm properly insulted . . .

and this rated only 27,4%, even though I personally consider it one of my very best images...

but the choice of words is really rather good indeed. The only flaw is that it sometimes adds names of more-visited locations with similar landscape features (the Himalayas and Morocco, neither of which are correct)

Both these shots made my heart go pitty-pat, but for different reasons. The first, because of the grandeur of the sky and the mountains. The second got better as I zoomed in on it to discover that the right-most object at the top of the dune was a person leading the camels. Cool!

Then I discovered that both were taken with an X100. So now I have to get one of those so I can take good pictures too. :rofl:

Even though I am not a bot, I remain impressed.

Their algorithm seems to be based on too many random factors, rather than a cohesive method for rating images as a viewer would judge them.

So it comes down to an algorithm that people like to throw stuff at, rather than use for its intended purpose.

The developers have a lot of work to do if this was a serious project. Most likely- was done more for fun, without a lot of in-depth analysis.

I can't help it- spent most of the 1980s developing pattern recognition programs for early digital sensors.
 
Thanks for posting this link. It was an interesting read, even if I think the whole premise of such an engine is misguided. I wouldn't trust a bot to recommend a wine, either....
