Spoiler alert! Back in 2017, the TV show Silicon Valley had a gag where one of the characters was tasked to create an image recognition app. Dubbed as the “Shazam” for food it’s purpose was to give the user the ability to take a picture of any type of food and immediately be told what it was. The punch line was that the creator (Jìan-Yáng) couldn’t be bothered to train the app for every type of food in existence so he instead decided to make an app...
