Not Hot Dog can distinguish if something is a hot dog or not a hot dog. A hot dog can either be a hotdog (the fast food) or a dog (animal) that is hot. A hot dog (animal) is hot if its tongue is showing.

This app is not monetised and does not include adds it’s just for fun. The code is on my GitHub at https://github.com/DevonTomatoSandwich/NotHotDog .

I used Clarifai to implement the AI. In their privacy statement “to use Clarifai products, you will be submitting images to Clarifai” and “Clarifai, Inc. will also use the images to improve its technologies”. By using this app you could be contributing to the rise of AI and the inevitable end to humanity… And it all starts with a hotdog. Make sure you don’t upload personal information through the photos. For a future update I’m interested in creating my own neural network that will only be as smart as a hotdog :)

Also thanks to Leonardo Balland, for his tutorial “seepizz” which helped me use image-picker and Clarifai.
