This is some old internet style shenanigans powered by modern technology.
I am here for it. I want more of this.

#22This is gross on multiple levels.
Nice try, restaurant owner with ugly people.

I think we use all our senses out in the real world when choosing some place to eat. Seeing the people who eat there is certainly one factor. Online maybe too if we look at the food pictures, read how the items are worded, look at a restaurant website and read the reviews we can get a sense of the types of people it appeals to. It's probably not the primary factor, but it is one attribute. There are anecdotal reports of establishments paying PR professionals (e.g. good looking models) to be there - and obviously they will use them for their promotional material.
It's good to listen and notice how one is being influenced. The real mistake is thinking we do not judge at all.
With that said, only looking at a rating of profile pictures of reviews to judge a restaurant is very funny and becomes art. Kudos to the creator.

#24What's the purpose of this?
.pix {
/* Simulate CRT pixelation and low resolution */
text-rendering: optimizeSpeed;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-smooth: never;
-webkit-font-smoothing: none;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
/* Simulate slight pixelation */
filter: blur(0.3px);

#25I respect the novelty. It’s a meme idea, but the problem solving and coding is still legit as a quick and fun challenge. Any details on how you managed to scrape the all mighty goog?
OP may have used their own method, but I believe you could use a provider like SerpAPI.
Re: LooksMapping
#26What about the ethical concerns? Scrapping faces of people and feeding them into AI model without their permission.
It's all public pictures though. Why would I publish a picture of my face if I don't want people to have a picture of my face?

I can go into an art gallery but I may not touch the works. Often there aren't physical barriers but we all understand some behaviours are not acceptable.
Similarly, publication of an image on the internet is not implicit permission to use it for any possible purpose, however technically feasible. For example, deepfakes.

The app is cool, but the argument there was either written by AI or there is a lost in translation moment because it doesn’t really make any sense.
In your argument you’re basically saying “it’s impossible to know what affects your choice of where to eat. Some think looks matter even pay for it; ergo, we must consider it too”
What about music type? Worker’s uniform color? Thinking “I wanna eat where the hot people are” is… I don’t know.. Odd?

If you draw a mustache on a drawing in an art gallery, you ruin the original for everyone else. If you take the drawing home, no one else has the original any more.
If I download, copy, or edit images sent to my computer, the original is still there.
The artist puts their art on the gallery with the intent that people will enter that gallery and look at it without touching. The image uploaders uploads the image with the intent that a copy (not the original) gets sent to our computers when we look at Google Reviews.
