View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?
Nothing, it's just worse (in many cases) now than it used to be.
If you search for a specific image of like a specific car or person it will oftentimes identify the general traits in the image (ex. blue convertible, or red-haired girl), then serve up more images that match that description rather than which are specifically close to the specific image searched.
Debatably in some cases that may be more useful. As I mentioned much of it might be due to privacy or something.

They did lose a lawsuit with Getty images that forced them to change how they served up images. I wonder if this is at all related to that.
