Not so smart

My smart phone is pretty good at identifying dog breeds.

Pretty good, not perfect.
Why would the phone be any different?
But anyway. A couple weeks ago, I was taking pictures of one of the new foals and I saw the identifier feature light up. Curious as to what kind of mammal my phone thought I was looking it, I tapped the word.
Moose or White Rhinoceros! I was delighted.
Then - of course! - I had to try this with more horse photos.
Kaffi is a tapir and Winslow is either a Gemsbok or an Oryx,
a Dromedary or a Llama,
a Lion or a Black-tailed Prairie Dog,
or, perhaps, an Odocolieus or a White-tailed Deer.
Scrolling back further, the phone had no trouble identifying Olive as a horse from the front or side.
The ears view was a little more problematic.
Kangaroo!
So far, all my pictures of Sage - even those taken at awkward angles - are identifiably horse.
I'm sure that will change when I have more pictures of her in my library. I can't wait to see what her alternative mammal identity will be!

  2. Drop shadow halo! Not, after all, a ghost aura spirit indicative,... I was fooled for a while there by those white lines.
