I like the fact that Amazon Rekognition is very efficient in recognizing the elements in photos or videos without extensive training. It is a handy tool if we don't want to go to the roots of the Computer Vision models and just focus on the implementation.

It can become overwhelming at times with all the options but for the most part its a trial and error learning process.

The idea that it could detect a person's age and gender is interesting in itself, but the aspect I find most intriguing is how it can detect human emotions. Using this Face API can be beneficial to many companies.

That it doesn't have all the functions needed. Sometimes it would just not work and freeze on me. Also, it can be a bit buggy and I would have to find a different solution to it.
