My dad used to work with market segmentation studies in #advertising. "Do not mail your knitting yarn catalogue to teenage boys" etc. He told me I'm in the hopeless and worthless #marketing segment that is best ignored. Anti-consumerist, environmentally conscious, ascetic, hostile to ostentatious luxury consumption. I see it as a badge of honour. Fuck "the economy"!

A year ago, I tested the responses from Google's Vision API using a tool called "They See Your Photos" which showed Google's analysis was riddled with inaccuracies and weird judgements.

I ran another experiment this year to see what, if anything, had changed and –wow!– have there been changes!

They See Your Photos: 12 months on

In short, just as inaccurate but somehow even less ethical
