Reddit seems to use Ai to analyze images, so the content can be indexed by the search. In example I searched for my name (which is also used for the my blog) to see if there are recent posts with "thingsiplay", because I saw some spike in the stats. But what I instead found is a screenshot of a comment from me made in YouTube. There is no text attached to the post or title, so it must have analyzed the content, right?

Or did I miss something and I make myself a fool here? Does any other community software or forum do this? Is this covered in their User Agreement?
Not wn expert in it, but this isn't necessarily AI, it could be good ol' image text recognition that has existed for years now.
It would make sense to include matching images in the search results and other engagement driven recommendations. There are quite a few screenshots too, so if the search can only handle text, it’s going to completely miss a pretty large category.
Given the recent cooporation with Google and that Google has excellent image text recognition, isn't this a safe bet? Otherwise Reddit would have this done without AI for years.
