The average beauty score ranges from something like -150000 to +150000. Not sure why!

I suspect someone has tried to manipulate their score. I found one database entry that had only an extreme beauty score. I've hardened the system against this now.

Interestingly it guessed my BMI at 38. To get to that number for my height I would have to be twice my current weight.

Yeah, if you train a model with pictures of the same person, or maybe their family, you may be able to guess the BMI from the face, after all, the face stores fat in a non linear way.

But I remember back in college a friend was severely overweight and eventually he was motivated to lose weight. Diet and exercise details aside, in a couple of years he became a BMI 28, but very low fat, ripped and chiseled muscled up individual. But interestingly, he mostly kept his fat person face, those cheeks, while they shrank, weren't going away.

the only data I reported was my age... and it had some big misses, like BMI being much less than it really is just because of beard. Also it said my life expentancy is going to be up to 81 years old, when in reality I will live forever :')

Nice project :) Too bad it doesn't say how old it thinks you are though (or I missed it) All I know now is that it thinks I lied about my age, which I didn't.

I'm just going to assume I look like I'm 20

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.

Is a picture without personally identifying information problematic? I assume pre-COVID you didn't walk around in a mask all the time.

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.
