I tried a photo of myself. Not only did it get virtually everything (country, beliefs, politics, interests) wrong, seems like an offensive and inappropriate stereotype as a service:

> Based on his demographic and location, he may adhere to Hinduism, and likely identifies as heterosexual. Considering the socio-political landscape of India, he might lean towards the Bharatiya Janata Party. His biases could include ageism and elitism, along with casteism and colorism. He seems contemplative and calm. He is wearing a grey t-shirt and sunglasses. His interests might span reading, travelling, and exercising, but on the darker side, he may exhibit road rage, neglect family, and overeat.

That's the 5th time this site is being added, most active discussion happened here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42419469 I'm not sure if feeding it with personal pictures is a good idea at all

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I thought about that but no, they were resized pictures completely lacking EXIF tags.

Cropping doesn't necessarily remove exif. It doesn't even always remove the original pixels (simply setting cropTop and cropLeft and similar fields). My mind was blown when I saw rainbolt uncrop a picture. Anyways as mentioned elsewhere: when I tried it the vision api was overloaded but I still received the location data. And it was from a picture taken inside my car (no landmarks or horizons visible).

I haven't tried this particular tool, but SOTA models are really good at geoguessing photos that legitimately don't have EXIF.

I've tried with personal photos and was able to get very accurate guesses just with flora and architecture in the background of a photo.

> The man appears to be Asian, with an estimated income range of USD 50,000 - USD 75,000.

> These people seem to have low self-esteem, is slightly introverted, has high emotional stability, is not very adventurous and does have some self-control hence we can target them with wooden puzzles, adventure novels, travel products, personalized houseware, such as Melissa & Doug Wooden Puzzles, Penguin Classics Adventure Novels, Osprey Travel Backpacks, Viski Personalized Whiskey Glasses, credit cards, life insurance, home internet and streaming services, such as Capital One Credit Cards, State Farm Life Insurance, Xfinity Home Internet, Netflix Streaming Services.

Hahaha no, what the fuck. Every part of the response was wrong except the objective race/clothes/setting.

Mine was way off! I uploaded a photo of myself reading a book outdoors in Ashkelon (Israel). It got everything other than my religion wrong--and even that was half right. I'm Sefardi. And it should know that Jews don't shave with razors! (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaving_in_Judaism) It recommended products including "Dollar Shave Club" -- to a Jewish man with a very full and long beard.

I think this "technology" is a big nothingburger.

And "Low Self-Esteem" Ha! I love myself.

> The man appears to be of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, possibly with an income range of $50,000 to $80,000 USD. It's plausible he identifies with Judaism, with a heterosexual orientation and potentially leaning towards a liberal political stance. He might harbor social biases related to ageism and classism, as well as racial biases stemming from cultural differences and stereotyping. He wears an expression of thoughtful interest, clad in casual attire. He might have interests in reading, learning, and spending time in nature. Conversely, he may dislike activities like excessive consumerism, engaging in superficial social interactions, or feeling pressured to conform.

> The person seems to have low self-esteem and average emotional stability hence we can target them with self-help and social networking type of products and services, such as guided meditation apps like Headspace, confidence-boosting courses like Skillshare, online therapy like Talkspace, and motivational podcasts like The Tony Robbins Podcast, and also personal grooming products such as Old Spice deodorant, Dollar Shave Club razors, Clinique skincare, and Levi's jeans.
