Artificial "Intelligence" Is Lousy At Guessing Games

Struck out twice within an hour, no less!

I wanted to find more pictures like this, so I clicked on the "search by image" function RIGHT next to the image in question (which usually gives Google a clue as to what kind of image is involved).

Yes, Google, in the broadest sense, sand is indeed a "material," but not the type you've selected here, aka "fabric."

And in the face of this kind of incompetence, there're folks who worry that computers'll take over the world?!?
