CaptionBot

posted April 15, 2016 #

Microsoft had a bit of a false start with their new Bot Framework but they're following up with CaptionBot; a bit of AI that looks at an image you upload and describes it with casual language. The results are surprisingly accurate and, dare I say, sometimes pretty funny. At the very least, upload some screenshots of your co-workers and throw them into Slack, it'll be a hoot.*

* But seriously, AI is seriously improving and this is a nice, simple, example of some legitimate progress. Speaking casually isn't exactly something robots normally excel at.
