It's kinda cool. I read about it in Teju Cole's Essay collection (which is definitely worth a read, btw). Anyhow, it's a different way of searching (not, btw, searching a word then looking at the images) that's still not that good.

For example, I searched myself and only managed to see other well-dressed men (not that I'm well-dressed, just that it's what that photo had). A proper search would bring up other images of me, or other people who look like me (or maybe that's too overtly creepy, coming from our intrusive tech overlords?  I suppose this, then, in light of all the snooping they've done would be a gambit).

I searched a unique cover of mine and only managed to get something like where my cover was used, rather than similar looking art. 

Anyhow, perhaps it seems to me that it has regressed quite a bit in the past few years. Is it something else that Google is going to give up on? Here is something I wrote about some time ago about using this image search as a kind of visual flarf (mmm, collages). But it seems like it hasn't improved at all. All that talk about AI and this is what we get, eh?
