Indexing! Which means running each of the 300K GIFs through the ML pipeline and extracting what it is so we can search using words. This is, as you can guess, is not cheap 🐶🐾🫡

Why does it need to be ML? Can’t they just be categorized?

How? Humans? Who is going to identify what the gif is? 🐶🐾🫡

Surely they are already categorized somewhere…

giphy has a search engine and if you post the link you'll get a preview....

The categorization would need to be done by hand?

You want to signup to review 300K GIFs? 🐶🐾🤣

I would give up after like 5th anime gif wondering where did society go wrong

And I would not blame you! 🐶🐾🤣

Or just scrape the web like any other sane developer …
