Feeling that alt tags are going to end up having even less meaning.

Ok, so I can get points for helping to label images. What are the points for?

I've heard that users tagging pictures with Google Image Labeler is actually teaching their very smart script how to describe what's on the pics .

So combining two above gives them very powerful tool that will tag pictures automaticaly and in the near future even more.

Few days ago I watched "Eagle Eye" and I don't think that this scenario is very far from today.
