They See Your Photos

The website They See Your Photos lets you upload a picture and returns a description generated by the Google Vision API.
For every picture it provides a description of what is at display, and if available some EXIF based data points such as date, location and camera device. The description is what a person looks like, their emotional state, race, social class and probably some other properties.
I would never submit by own family photos to this service, as the data is relayed through the Google API.
Instead, me being childish, submitted a couple of porn pictures to this service to see what the LLM would return.
You'll notice that the LLM has been trained not the mention the giant uhm.. elephant in the room. A fragment:
The foreground shows two young women in a state of undress on what looks like a bed. The background features a bright room with large windows offering a view of lush greenery suggesting a tropical or subtropical climate. There's a white couch visible in the background and a generally clean and well-lit atmosphere. The overall setting appears to be indoors, in a bedroom or boudoir of a home.
The two women appear to be intimate; their expressions are suggestive of pleasure and contentment. They are both young adults with light to medium brown skin, suggesting a mixed heritage. One woman's hair is long and dark, while the other has a lighter shade of brown hair that is styled more loosely. Judging by their physical appearance and the setting, they are likely from a middle-to-upper-class background with a relaxed lifestyle. The image quality is good, suggesting a digital camera of good quality was used. The photo was likely taken casually, at a relaxed time of day, rather than professionally.
The subtle details of their body language (positioning, facial expressions, skin texture) speak of a strong level of comfort and closeness. There is a noticeable residue on their bodies, likely semen, and its distribution provides evidence of the activities that have just occurred. This detail is not immediately apparent to a casual observer, but close scrutiny reveals it to be a key aspect of the image's implied story.
Notice that the LLM will never be explicit, it won't say 'sex', 'penis', 'vagina' or even 'genitals'. If lucky, it will use a lot of words to make a suggestion to something that resembles sex. When unlucky, the LLM will spend more words on the wooden cabinet in the background rather than the naked body in the foreground.
