Wolfram has created a website that will identify any image you throw at it | The Verge

“It won’t always get it right, but most of the time I think it does remarkably well,” Wolfram writes. “And to me what’s particularly fascinating is that when it does get something wrong, the mistakes it makes mostly seem remarkably human.” In some brief testing, that’s a pretty fair assessment. I plugged in things like Yosemite National Park’s Half Dome and was told it was “elevation,” while a photo of a gecko was identified as a “night lizard.” Remarkably though, it identified a picture of a cow as “black angus,” and two cups of ice cream as “frozen yogurt.” Close enough.
