VMP Sneak Peek: Slash Commands (Part 7)
11Sometimes, before we roll out new site features, we try them out on our guinea pi- er, VMP friends first.
- Y’all went crazy with the
/giphy
command in part 1 of VMP Sneak Peek: Slash Commands. - Then we added the
/shrug
command and editor auto-completion in part 2. - In part 3, we added
/cowsay
to see what it would be like in a forum to add a Unix-style command line application. - In part 4, we added
/youtube
support. - In part 5, we added
/image
support which works well when searching for images of order numbers. - In part 6, we added
/woot
support and tried to search active woot.com deals for a noun that returned only a single result.
I’m pretty excited about today’s update.
/captionbot [image-url]
generates a caption for an image.
/captionbot
I think it’s a cat that is looking at the camera.
We’re using Microsoft Cognitive Services to do the AI.
Captionbot.ai is a demo-app that describes what it sees in images. Captionbot.ai can understand thousands of objects, as well as the relationships between them; it can do celebrity-recognition and, if it thinks it is seeing a selfie, it will even match you to a celebrity!
I can’t wait to see how this slash command turns out.

@mfladd
Basically, this feature was implemented so that @katylava, @shawn, and (I want to say @Matthew, but instead I’ll be vague) @whatshisface can watch mehmbers mess with a Microsoft product.
(Btw, finally found a way to deal with your habit of deleting your comments.)
@FruityFraug I think @matthew is too busy singing and playing with puppets.
@Ignorant
Hmmm… One day/week trying to come up with humerous descriptions of what was probably listed for job applications for various Mediocre staff.
This could be interesting.

PSA:
For all those people who seem to be getting irrelevant responses from the captionbot about what the pictures show, there’s a reason for that.
The AI is already foretelling the future where we will change how we refer to things once the robots take over. “Giraffe” for instance will be used as a certain type of term.
@FruityFraug I for one have been enjoying its irrelevancy.
/captionbot
I am not really confident, but I think it’s a close up of a tooth brush.

/captionbot
I am very confident this is a statement bemoaning the implementation of more useless “features” in the meh forum.
Why are people using an image of the robot and not the actual emoji?
@Ignorant Some of us don’t like emoji. Plus, it’s much easier for me to drop an image into my host than try to search through the thousands of emoji to see if maybe they have one I want.
@hallmike It’s just
:robot:
, no searching necessary!@brhfl Yeah, now that you know there is one for a robot it’s easy, but you had to search the first time to know it existed. I have a process that works easiest for me so I will continue to use it.
Plus, I’m not vmp so some of these features don’t work for me. I don’t know what has and hasn’t been released to us unwashed masses so I just do it the old-fashioned way.
@Ignorant What’s an ennojl?
@medz

“I see two giraffes…” This bot needs some therapy. Some early childbothood memories need to be recovered and dealt with. What were the giraffes and what were they really doing?

I wonder if all of the new forum features are part of their own experiment - if so, what’s the codename?
(For newer members, the codename for meh.com was Pavlov)
