You try to describe it accurately hoping to get a good score, but all they do is type in one word. You can't describe most images with one word! If google want this data to help then they need to limit it to at least 2 keywords so images are more accurately describe. I tried the game and some people are tools.

It's an opportunity for people to have the power of their wonderful minds harnessed. Mechanical processors and our own brains have overlapping abilities - how splendid that people are always coming up with new ways for humanity to leverage both. Imagine a nation of couch potatoes putting their leisure time to a productive end. Our species could build up equity in our collective consciousness faster than ever before, rather than allowing all that mental energy to fizzle off passively month after month. Spooooooooooooooon!
