For all 4 of their sample photos and one that I uploaded, their thing failed to notice that there were humans in the pictures. It said the opposite, that there weren't any. I'm disappointed. The one I uploaded is one that I took some years ago, but I've forgotten the time and place, and I'd like to have had it tell me.

If you're using a browser with heavy anti-fingerprinting capabilities it will upload a randomized canvas image instead of the intended image, and you'll get a lot of descriptions of pictures of wavy lines and no people.

I find that hard to believe. Which browser intentionally tampers with images before they are uploaded, especially in such a destructive manner?

Firefox with canvas fingerprinting protection enabled.

That is weird, I upload photos from the exact same browser to other sites all the time and they look fine. Uploading a photo shouldn't touch the canvas. It's just an http post.
