      Not at all - you’d have to train a model but then it could be run locally. You could even have something like SETI at Home, and run it on volunteers’ computers.

      I suppose some social media charges for access and it might not be a good idea to scrape for something like this (or at least admit it).

          In a world where you can stream 4k video, you think a few images are going to be a problem?

              You’re just making up big numbers and ignoring what I’m saying.

              Either it’s done centrally, in which case it’s feasible if they have funding, or it’s done SETI-style and users share the load (and could have data limits, etc).
