I got 7.9 for beauty index which was pretty surprising. I wonder what is the exact average over the whole sample? And who got the 8+ marks? The distribution would definitely be interesting to see.
People say I look like Jesus (the "Europeanized" version).
I pointed my camera at my monitor and brought up conventionally attractive celebrities. No one got higher than 6.2. Zac Efron: 6.2 Henry Cavill: 5.9 Pierce Brosnan: 5.1 Shemar Moore: 4.7

I went and took another look, it turns out it did work properly, it was just that I read the UI wrong the first time. Sorry for the false alarm, I should've done better checking first. Edit: See other comment
Scratch that. I was able to reproduce the error, it happens when you open the "Terms and Conditions" in a new tab and then click through to the app from there.

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.
Then I guess it says something negative about today's internet that I trust some random guy a lot more than I trust Facebook or Google and their hordes of lawyers. If he says he's not collecting my data, I'm inclined to believe him. If Google says they won't misuse my data, I assume that comes with 200 pages of legalese loopholes to let them do whatever they want. I don't think I'm wrong, either.

Also, for those who are really concerned, I did test going to the landing page and disconnecting from the internet.
It still worked, which leads me to believe the creator was in fact telling the truth.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
HN: "delete Facebook" Also HN: "show your face to this random site so an algorithm can tell you if you're hot or not"
Also HN: "love microsoft", "love apple" ...
It's almost like there paid PR campaigns sweeping across social media.
It's almost like there is a switch that gets flipped and all of a sudden you get "google is evil" spam. Then that gets turned off and another switch gets turned on and you get "facebook is evil". It's almost like much of news, traditional media and now social media are just platforms of PR campaigns.
Hey, how great is Go, Rust, VSCode, etc? I wonder how much of the enthusiasm is organic and how much of it is manufactured.
And remember guys, centralization is evil, but lets all move our code to github now that it is in microsoft's safe hands.
Apparently I lied about my age, it predicts that I'm actually 8 years younger than I am which is fun. It also tells me my BMI is about 9 points lower than reality which is also fun. And that I've got as long left to live as I have lived already which is pretty awesome. But it also tells me I'm ugly, which isn't so much fun :P At least it correctly identified me as a man with 97% certainty. So I can stop worrying abou…
As well algorithm thinks that I'm quite ugly. Well, I don't care even if algorithm is right, as algorithm is not my second wife.
Was that a hoax? It started showing me pictures of dogs in shower caps for some reason, said it was loading and unloading random data sets, then began quizzing me about random things.
Creator here. It sounds like the main face detection algorithm (faceApiJS) wasn't able to load somehow. Then it will just try to keep you entertained by spouting funny loading sentences. Try refreshing the page, or using a different browser.
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.

Maybe someone can enlighten me. I first heard about this problem 10 years ago. I'm sure it's been known far longer. Is there some extremely difficult algorithmic problem preventing these systems from working on people with darker skin? I had presumed it was a long corrected oversight but it still appears to be a problem.
