  Can you consider giving a score instead of a binary decision? Or differentiate between, say, beach pics and true 18+ content.

  Edit: The accuracy leaves a lot to be desired - you can paste any images from clothing stores of models in dresses or tank tops and it will flag it as NSFW.

  The "AI" seems to replicate an Islamic fundamentalist - a woman in a burqa did pass as SFW ;)

  Google offers a hosted SafeSearch version [1] which has a lot more nuance: https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/reference/rpc/google.cl...

  It's a good idea in theory, but what if it shuts down? And what about the privacy implications of sending all images to some server across the world?

  It marked 3/4 SFW images as NSFW and then marked the only NSFW image I uploaded as being OK.

  I am not sure this thing is very accurate at all.

  What are the API limits? That is, how many images scanned is too many?

  Amazing accuracy, I tried to trick it but it got everything right
