Microsoft’s Caption AI Is Sometimes Right, Sometimes Stupid

Microsoft has launched a new CaptionBot, and the results range from impressively spot on to bwah.

Simply by uploading a photo to CaptionBot, it will describe what it sees. Keep in mind, the AI is still learning, but damn, there’s so much it doesn’t know.

It does know this guy. Good. He’s important.

Amazing! It can recognise Wii Remotes by name. So the next one should be a cinch!

D’oh.

Gah. Let’s try another Microsoft console.

Nope.

Maybe CaptionBot just likes Nintendo more?

Eh… Maybe these are too hard. Let’s go for a palate cleanser.

A yellow, pill-popping one in red booties. OK, OK. The next one, CaptionBot will definitely know.

Microsoft’s Caption AI Is Sometimes Right, Sometimes Stupid

Um. OK. Technically this could be correct.

Microsoft’s Caption AI Is Sometimes Right, Sometimes Stupid

Aw, crap.

Microsoft’s Caption AI Is Sometimes Right, Sometimes Stupid

Nooooooooo. Is it wrong to assume Microsoft AI would be familiar with Microsoft products?

Microsoft’s Caption AI Is Sometimes Right, Sometimes Stupid

I don’t even, what is this. Let’s try some easier ones. You know, easier than Microsoft logos.

Microsoft’s Caption AI Is Sometimes Right, Sometimes Stupid

OK. Not bad! While not specific, the AI is correct.

Microsoft’s Caption AI Is Sometimes Right, Sometimes Stupid

Ditto.

Microsoft’s Caption AI Is Sometimes Right, Sometimes Stupid

I’m not confident, either.

Microsoft’s Caption AI Is Sometimes Right, Sometimes Stupid

Good CaptionBot. Good.

Microsoft’s Caption AI Is Sometimes Right, Sometimes Stupid

CaptionBot sure likes fenced in giraffes.

Microsoft’s Caption AI Is Sometimes Right, Sometimes Stupid

You should see my face, CaptionBot.

*sigh*

At least it’s not a racist, huh? Well, yet.
