You're misinterpreting the analogy. - Drawing a mustache on the art = Vandalizing the original data (not what's happening). - Taking the art home = Deleting the original data (also not what's happening). - Scraping faces for an AI = Following visitors around the gallery, taking secret photos of them, and publishing a book that rates them by attractiveness. The fact that the gallery is "public" does not make that beha…

> taking secret photos of them, The visitors took the photo, supplied the photo, and put it in a public place.

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

You can tell from the old google logo style as well haha

What'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); color: black; font-size: 16px; }

Yep, makes the site look like it was rendered on an old browser on a CRT.

I 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?

Just script a real browser with a chrome extension, and let it run kinda slowly overnight.

The rate limits are such that you can get tens of millions of data points just from a single browser.

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.

Are memes, or for that matter, satire and parody unethical?

Your data is incorrect. That ranking is for male vs female (higher number = female).

The hot vs not score is a separate score. (e.g you have Big Arc chicken as a 2.5. That means mostly male. It's hotness score is 5.5)

I think there's a category of these kinds of things where you apply AI to do something humans could do, but could not be bothered to do. Or could not profitably do. At least no human would categorize all these reviews just for lols.

Another recent example from HN would be that site which just lists hotel rooms that have a desk and a chair. It would be an incredibly dull task for a human to look at a million hotel room pictures and just select if they have a desk or not.

What else somewhat useful/fun could we do applying perhaps a little worse than human attention at something, but a lot of it?

This was the first thing that stood out to me too. I sampled quite some dark red markers, representing "attractive", and on the balance they're almost always overwhelmingly reviewed by females. There were some exceptions though. Especially in the south west for Chinese cuisine.
