Don't have french cheese around me right now, I tried with the first google image of camembert and it mislabeled as brie...

On a tangent, as I'm developing a similar ai powered pwa, what's, in your opinion, the preferred way to let the user shoot a photo and upload it? Leverage the native camera/upload UI (like the cheese app) or using a custom html/js UI without leaving the app (something like this [0] demo not mine)?

edit added link to js UI example



To be fair camembert and brie look identical from the outside ( and even mostly inside).


In other words, there cant be a Shazam for cheese. It’s an impossible task.


Maybe someone can invent a cheese tasting accessory for phones. Not sure if I want to share my cheese with my phone though.


My rule of thumb is: if expert human eyes can't classify a thing looking at it, the ai will also fail.


That’s not entirely true. For example, ML is used in radiology to find problems that are too subtle for the human eye to detect.


But pigeons still do it better: https://twitter.com/emollick/status/1388594078837878788


Maybe if it was equipped with a spectrometer and microscope...


In this case it should be uncertain and return more than one result.
