Today on Plain English: Do you have a historical double—in a painting? A new feature in a Google app will search historical artwork and tell you which painting or portrait most looks like you. But the app only works in the US due to privacy laws. Some people are concerned that Google may use the data for more than just lighthearted fun.
Plus, we review what it means to “push the limit”—and how one person pushed the limit by searching for a cartoon character’s match in Google’s archives.
