#32From the video this appears to be face detection, with some cute strings attached at random to the detected faces. I don't see evidence of facial recognition.
how did the code crop faces without facial recognition?
Parent comment is saying the system wasn’t linking the faces to real names, just detecting a face in general.

That jovial overly friendly tone is a give away. Like to thinks its writing style is HILARIOUSLY clever

Just have an AI summarize it for you /s https://marketoonist.com/2023/03/ai-written-ai-read.html
or move the disclaimer to the top. or better yet, have aggregators like HN add a badge if it's likely AI generated

How could you possibly tell? I've been playing around with AI detectors, putting in known all-human samples, known all-AI samples, and mixed samples.
The only thing it's gotten right is not marking a human sample as 100% AI (but it marked one of the AI samples as 100% human).
Having such a mark would be a witch-hunt for sure.

'Face detection' means it can detect faces. 'Face recognition' means it recognizes the faces. A specific example of the difference: license plate detection will detect the presence of a license plate; license plate recognition will tell you the number on that plate.

It was detecting faces, not recognizing them.
Recognition implies associating the faces with an ID.

#38This lends even more weight to the theory that Massive Attack’s singer is, in fact, Banksy.

In the industry, that’s known as face (or facial) detection, which is a different problem than face recognition.
Face recognition means computing which individual from some other database of people a particular face belongs to.
There’s also face tracking — detecting a face in an image and then tracking the same face across subsequent images. Which is often implemented by using a face recognition approach, but without any predefined catalog of people — you just dynamically fill up your face database as faces appear in the image sequence / video source.

#40I tried to create an art piece sorta like this once. Video cameras in two separate places in the world, hooked up to a monitor. Made to look like a mirror, only you realize you're looking into a completely different place. So if you and someone else walk up to it, it's like you in another dimension. I was told I couldn't bring it to a regional burning man event because "it violates consent" (because they didn't consent to being filmed). Despite their being no storage or recording whatsoever and it only being a live feed to another identical event. The organizers just couldn't come to grips with the discomfort they felt that there are cameras capturing your image. We definitely need more of these projects so people don't keep their heads in the sand.
