LOL: Microsoft’s CaptionBot Describes The Best Films Of 2015 In Unintentionally Profound And Hilarious Ways

While CaptionBot can sometimes be startlingly accurate, it is clear there are still a few kinks to work out. Nonetheless, I couldn’t help but wonder how it would analyze still images from some of the best films of 2015. The results are mostly bizarre, often hilarious, and sometimes profound. Note: All of the following captions were created by uploading images straight to CaptionBot.

While CaptionBot has mistaken a gun for an umbrella, it accurately reads Leo’s expression as being pretty upset in this image.

Odd way of referring to Joy, or commentary on Pixar’s merchandising of its characters?

CaptionBot is more aspirational here, as Mad Max: Fury Road suffered greatly from its lack of cakes and cake-shaped vehicles.

CaptionBot rightly dismisses Kyle Chandler’s Harge as a “cell phone” in the sense that his presence in Carol’s life is mostly utilitarian, and occasionally the cause of heartbreak and frustration.

Matt Damon definitely overcame many obstacles throughout his interplanetary journey in The Martian.

CaptionBot is more accurate here than it understands.

CaptionBot accurately reads the distress emanating from the characters in this tense conversation held within Minny’s Haberdashery.

Unfortunately, CaptionBot still has a lot of work to go before it can adequately recognize any objects within the Star Wars universe.

They’re cooking something, alright.

Nailed it.
