Tag Cow Privacy Warning

I use Tag Cow to autometatag my flickr photos for FREE, which is nice... . Sometimes a bit sketchy but handy, see below...Tag Cow uses Mechanical Turk and state that ALL photos will be visible to tagging "resources". Mechanical Turk uses A.A.I, artificial artificial intelligence, i.e. people. You see where this is heading....

Just so you know,...

my mates are going to laugh when I tell them my photos are autometatagged by aai.... westside!

meh

Tagcow magic?

Wow! Tagcow, automatically, intelligently, tags your photos from flickr, apparently. If you upload pics of friends it even identifies them! But how?

Using mechanical turk, that's how. Amazon's mturk is billed as "artificial artificial intelligence", and it's obviously people doing the tagging. I had a go at both, tagging was easy but to earn anything close to decent money you have to do it faster than is possible. I tried to do it minimally but honestly but it was too slow.

Check out the results from some other taggers, they're useful but at best minimal...
