No surprise. Also, who can seriously claim that other proprietary search engines (yandex, Baidu) don't sell uprankings?

The one I fold since 3rd grade is missing. The world champion in distance is missing, too.

It cannot do "lego"

But maybe it's just hug of death..

You'll probably get a lot of T-Rexes with trunks. I think, the reason for misinterpretation of skeletons is the missing information about other material than bones.

However, taking the hippo as an example, some convex bone shapes seem to be a hint for neighboring body fat and muscle. I'd check first, if current artists would do better after training themselves on living animals. Also, I'd check whether reptiles can get as fat as mammals, etc.

spazzpp2 | 9 years ago | on: Facebook is wrong, text is deathless

First, FB assimilated Wikipedia (just text, few images). FB also assimilated IMDB. Then, they discovered that most links aren't Wikipedia anymore but it's youtube. So they assimilate a video service so that they will be quoted when another hyped video comes up and not youtube again. Aaand facebook will continue to assimilate. Google's AI features should be at their next aim.

Facebook is Borg. Faceborg.
