I added #CLIP to my image labeling tool and have now full text search over my various collections. Here are "potato", "xray of a hand","skull" and "circle" from my @internetarchive set.

Besides labeling CLIP is also useful to find images that are wrongly oriented. In this case my tool works by example, but a text search for "upside down" also often works.

Not what I expected for "stock photography", but a nice example for the reading abilities of CLIP.

A fitting result for "Confusion". In case you are curious - this data set consists of ~600K images and search results for any text query are returned quasi instantly.

In case you didn't know: CLIP does also handle emojis. Here's the search results for 🖐️ and for 😀 (the latter is my selection since it also returned quite a few irrelevant images for that one)

🏋️ - as so often with these models it is cherry-picking. Not all emojis work well and I think it also associates something like "a symbol of" or "a drawing of" with them.
