I compared image recognition and understanding of clothing care tags in various systems today

When comparing the image recognition of clothing care tags and associated icons across different systems like Google, Apple, and ChatGPT, discrepancies were found. Google's system was lacking in displaying drying and dry cleaning instructions. Similarly, Apple's system missed out on showing washing instructions. In contrast, ChatGPT successfully identified every single icon presented in the image, showcasing a comprehensive understanding of the care symbols.

[ChatGPT query] Can you please tell me the care instructions for this item of clothing based off this photo of the label? Please list the icon and then what it means. And list them one after another.

[ChatGPT response]

Sure, here are the care instructions from the label:

Tub with 30 inside: Machine wash at 30°C.

Triangle with a cross: Do not bleach.

Square with a circle and a dot: Tumble dry on low heat.

Iron with a dot: Iron on low heat.

Circle with a cross: Do not dry clean.

Circle with a W: Professional wet cleaning.

Tub with 30 inside and hand: Hand wash at 30°C.

Iron with an X: Do not iron.

Circle with P and cross: Do not dry clean with PCE.

Square with a cross: Do not tumble dry.

Circle with a line: Dry clean with hydrocarbon solvents only.

Circle with a cross: Do not wet clean.

Square with a line and dots: Drip dry.

Circle with F and cross: Do not dry clean with F solvents.

Square with curved line: Line dry.

Additionally, the label notes that the garment is 100% cotton (organically grown) and suggests mild machine washing at 30°C. Do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and do not dry clean.
