So I just replaced my Galaxy Flip because the magnetic sensor did not know if it was closed or open and the screen went blank for the last half year forcing me to carry a bar magnet to wave over the screen to get it back on. Samsung knew the problem well and replaced it. The new phone had newer software and on the Google search bar, next to the microphone icon, there was another I pressed. Turned out to be Google Lens to identify anything you take a photo of. So of course I went to my coin table. Did fine with Denarius and Antoninianus coins but give it a Greek and the results were a hot mess. Anyone else try this? If you say the results were helpful, click that box if it got it right, I think you are training the worlds ancient coin neural net with positive reinforcement. So in a few years, if people use it, we might might have competition for our skills!

I'm not sure if it's the Greek alphabet that's confusing it, or if it's simply had a lot more Roman than Greek coins used in training it.

Well I have found a decent use for it. In my line of work, you get someones estate and there are coins way out of your comfort zone. Coins that for a collectors of that group are obvious to them. So European states, what would take me a long time is obvious to the lens and it puts me in the right ball park. It will be a long time before it can help anyone with Greeks except for the most obvious well known ones. And you can always read a Roman enough you don't need the help. But for a ballpark like a Robert the II the Pious it just helped me with, that saved me some time.
