Has this been true lately? Every time I see it, it gives me the same images from a set of 3. 90% of the time it's classifying street lights, and it's the same street lights every time. About 7% of the time, it's pictures with cars in them, and again, it's the same pictures most times (but in a different order, I think). The remaining times it's fire hydrants or store fronts, often in a language I can't read, so I don't know if it's a store or not. (And again - mostly the same images each time.)
