I used to be demonstrating Siri yesterday to my pal, exhibiting the way it can search the web for random photographs (present me an picture of a chickadee, a Volkswagen GTI, Albert Einstein, a stress cooker, and so forth.) and it was pulling photographs from the online till I had it search pit-bulls utilizing the phrase “present me a image of a pit bull.”
Siri discovered and displayed photographs of my 2 pit-bulls from the Pictures app on the iPhone! It will not discover any photographs once I searched utilizing the canine’s names, nevertheless. After I examined this identical search phrase with “German Shepherd” it discovered photographs of three different canines in Pictures, that are shepherd mixes, not pure breeds.
Many of the chosen photographs have been principally face-on (two eyes wanting on the digicam, floppy ears, and so forth,) however some are from the aspect and it discovered them despite the fact that pit #1 has a slender face, pit #2 has a block-head, and not one of the shepherds have the standard erect ears.
I do know that facial recognition is fairly far superior in iOS, however I had no thought it might acknowledge canine breeds, and I used to be amazed that utilizing “present me an image” searches the Pictures app. What’s extra disturbing is that I intentionally set Siri to not search contained in the Pictures app:
Does anyone have a clue what’s going on? I understand this query could also be interpreted as a ‘why Apple does one thing’ question, and I’ll settle for a downvote or two. I am going to delete the query if people suppose its immaterial in the long term.
I am mystified.
