Well, that's what he says he did. Why would he need an "AI which scraped public Instagram photos"? You can just ask Instagram for photos tagged "Times Square" and get loads of them. Totally unnecessary to teach an AI what Times Square looks like when there are a bazillion tagged photos of Times Square being posted every hour. Maybe you need a lot of them, but "bulk scraping lots of Instagram posts" isn't exactly AI. https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/timessquare/ https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/timessquare/
