gollark: "Compare" how? You'd need to fuzzy-match them somehow to deal with differences in compression or whatever.
gollark: - post all of them on reddit and see if someone says one is a repost of another
gollark: Some very rough ideas for how to detect similar images:- remove blank space at top/bottom/sides and do the rest of these- run OCR over the text and check for matches- split image up into chunks, reduce the color space a lot, count how many times each color appears, check for similar chunks in other images- run edge detection on them, get locations of edges, fuzzy matching of those- ML-based object detection?- some sort of locality-sensitive hashing for image data
gollark: Probably, but I don't know what software or have any idea how it works.
gollark: Or look at how the repost detection bots do it.
