the company that produces the software or the box will either notice the issue and fix it. or not and be punished by the market.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
If that's the case, then the decision to assign it to an intern and give them 3 days, and then not to test it with a diverse set of subjects was somebody's fault and failure. If they were not an intern (or even if they were, frankly), the engineer who built it also had a responsibility to think beyond their own demographic; and if the timeline was too short to develop a properly robust system, to at least point that…
As a side point, it could also be like: would someone pay 100$ for a picture in such a machine? This is sad, but that's how you get fastfoods too
Unlike the title this is for a passport photo. You can't smile in a passport photo. If you compare her lips to recommended passport photos she is more smiling.
