Tap That App: Google's New "Im2Calories"!!!

Google has revealed their plan for an artificial intelligence that analyzes your food posts!

Just what we need…. someone to re-inform us of what we already know but don’t want to hear: YES, these cupcakes are filled with yummy sugary-loaded calories, but I’m still gonna eat it because it’s so darn good!

Google is working on an app that can detect the number of calories on your #instafood pics!! The project is called ~ ~“Im2Calories” ~~

Kevin Murphy, a Google research scientist says, “To me, it’s obvious that people really want this and this is really useful.”

I guess so… but I don’t know if I want to know how much is in some of the foods that I post and then devour….

For those of you (me) who constantly take pictures of their food and share it on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter (see above), having your calories counted for you by an intelligent computer program could actually be a pretty useful tool.

For those trying to make better healthy- eating/lifestyle choices, the automated calorie tracker could really help! We’re (I’m) not saying that all we do is post and eat sweets! There are some veggies and fruits somewhere there too…

People may hate this new idea…. BUT, it could be good for all of us in the end!
