Wolfram Alpha Launches Image Identification Search Engine

Reverse image search has been something many search engines have been working on for years and years. Google has the ability to upload an image to their image search and it will return results, so do many niche image search engines. Wolfram Alpha launched theirs today at imageidentify.com.

Here is an example of a good result:

Here is one that is correct but with less data:

Wolfram isn’t stay up to date on the latest tech trends?

But yes, it knows a plane when it sees one:

Thank god it thinks I am human:
