The AI rated me a 4 out of 10 and struggled to figure out whether I was a man or a woman. There goes my self esteem for the day.

Just shining my phone's flashlight to my face increase the score by 1 point. Maybe try with a better lighting? You might get a 10 score ;)

LOL funny how people here gibber about privacy but are more than happy to give their face to some rando website. Y'all are fucking muppets.

99% of the cases i would agree with you,I don't even buy laptops with integrated webcams for this very reason; However, websites with the .eu domain are subject to EU laws (obviously, since you need to be an eu citizen to have such a domain). Even though i'm not an EU fan (far from it actually),it would be very weird if they'd have such a website and then not comply with data requests for deletion/download, especiall…

This is correct. .EU domain registration have several restrictions on them, one of which is full disclosure of who you are. I would trust a .eu website, over a .com anyday.

Yeah the data-gathering-AI-stuff is cool & creepy but I'm actually more interested in the UX of the site.

Forget buttons, dialogs, beautifully designed pages. Future UIs should have videos of a person talking telling you what is happening and what to do next!

HN: "delete Facebook" Also HN: "show your face to this random site so an algorithm can tell you if you're hot or not"

I mean, it's an EU-funded academic site designed to raise awareness of privacy issues, so I'm inclined to believe them when they say they aren't keeping any of this data.

Maybe it's because programmers tend to think categorically, but I find HN frequently has this problem where people are freaking out like "why is it okay when Mozilla does X but you don't want Google to do X?!" as though we're supposed to treat every question as some sort of sui generis scenario divorced from all history and context.

History matters, context matters. I (generally) trust academics and democratically-elected governments, and I (generally) distrust giant ad-tech companies and authoritarian states.

BMI was way off but the metric itself is such a crude generalization so this is probably excusable.

Mine was predicted much lower than it really is, but I'm lean with big muscles, so that is to be expected, I suppose.

Exactly! My real BMI is 25, and just like you, I am on the muscular side. The estimate was 19.

Context mattering has nothing to do with sharing your face with a random site that claims to be supported by "The EU".

This is a site made by one guy, not the EU.

yikes! I seems to think I only have 20 years left to live. I'm only in my mid 40's

Meanwhile, I'm going to live to be 120! Boy am I glad I visited this site!

Tell me more about your other stats, I want to be like this. What should I focus on? My body mass lolz.

Ah, this one couldn't find my face. It kept focusing on my left ear and gave it a 5 for attractiveness. Then it couldn't find my face any longer. There was another fun one posted here months ago [1]. I wanna say I'm disappointed, but I'd be lying. I'm happy that A.I. cannot detect us black people. I'll need to do something about that left ear though.

It started with 5, then I kept getting closer to the camera until it was at 7.5 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Its probably focusing on a single part of your skin.
