Entitlement... There are 189 Greg Egan on Linkedin alone. No wonder Google doesn't show only his face. If his claim is valid, the result right now seems pretty ok to me...

Why entitlement? If you just searched for Greg Egan and got a bunch of images for Greg Egan's that would be fine. But google is pulling together info as a bio of Greg Egan the science fiction author, presenting it as authoritative, and including a picture - not someone with this name but that specific person. The author being annoyed that Google is falsely saying this is what he specifically looks like doesn't sound entitled to me

Because this dude is like I filled million recaptacha I deserve more free result when AI research is so new and so slow.

This dude thinks just coz human can do it means its easy and forgets the billion years of evolution that went to make our eye or the massive amount of processing our brains does to see an object.

But it doesn't! Just look him up right now and you will see his bio doesn't include pictures of random people. There are pictures of his books covers and picture of other people users have been searching for (probably other authors and people loosely connected to him) Then in the middle part there are indeed fairly random pictures but these have nothing to do with his bio. They are just Google results.
