Face pictures and IP adresses...

And browser fingerprint and operating system.

And the bait on the hook is not a good indicator either - an appeal to a deep drive or insecurity in many people.

Obviously not determinative in itself ,but if I wanted to harvest a lot of faces in a hurry, that's exactly the sort of bait that I would use (I can hardly think of a better one off the top of my head).

I was not really prepared for being told how unattractive I am this morning.

Then you're missing the point the website makes about this and other algorithms like it being extremely unreliable. There are tons of biases in the training data, and not just ethnic/cultural ones mentioned. For starters, you're comparing a crappy webcam to a model that in all likelihood is based on people's best selfies.

The model tries to fit you into a very narrow niche. On top of that it will do so poorly.

Devil’s advocate here. What could go wrong? If you open a website in a fresh browser context and let it use your camera, isn’t this about the same as walking down a street with CCTV cameras?

> fresh browser context I get your point, but I am not sure how fresh our browser context is.

I just mean private browsing or incognito or whatever. It’s 2 seconds away in any popular browser.

I think it's hilarious that it decided, based on the AI algorithm, that I lied about my age!

Same here. I selected my real age and the algorithm thinks I'm 7 years younger than that (well, thanks I guess, but it is not me who's not telling the truth).

I'm guessing you're from the US and the parent poster is from the EU?

Correct. I don't care which government is in question, though. None are worthy of my trust or data.

I was a 6.3 as I stepped out of bed. I took a shower, shaved, brushed my teeth, put on a nice shirt, fixed my hair and offered a good angle of my best smile at the camera. I was now a 9.

I was a 6.3 but I felt pleasantly surprised because I personally think I'm a 1.5

I’m wondering if this is scaled so 5 is quite low and 1-5 should be non-existent. Giving someone a 1 vs a “5” feels a little mean.

It thinks I'm a lot skinnier than I actually am, and it thinks I'm uglier than I actually am. xD

Some interesting tidbits: * There's a sortof hidden/unlabelled button - did you press it? * Did you notice the nickname you were given, slowly building up over time? * Do you have resting sad face? Or resting happy face?

It might not be the best at dealing with facial hair. I was smiling most of the time and it said I was sad and disgusted by the doggie.
