Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

I wonder how many people who actually upload a photo to this site will even bother to remove EXIF data? If you have all the original metadata in a typical smartphone camera JPEG, then things like the info below is available: - camera model - phone model - time & date of when the picture was taken - geo-location of where the picture was taken I would say for anyone motivated enough that is pretty easily identifiable.…

It uses a live feed from your camera, not a photo.

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!

Can't switch to front camera on pixel 3a?

Same problem for me on a pixel 3.

Ditto on Huawei Mate 20 X

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.

So apparently the algorithms say I'm almost 10 years younger than I actually am (late 20s, algos say I'm just about to get my student driver's license).

I wanted to see how much the camera quality affects these scores so I wanted to try on mobile but I can't get it to switch to the front camera.

What a great website and cool way to present a technical topic. Online education is still in its infancy and when we talk nowadays about good examples of online education, we usually think of videos and (in the best case) of websites where students can play with interactive models, solve exercises, etc. But this website demonstrates that you can still go mucher further in involving the listener as a person. This of c…

I second this. I've just spent the summer putting together an online experiment for a student along similar lines:

I wish I'd known about the Javascript face analysis beforehand! And also how hard it would be to learn Javascript ;) And how to do that cool embedded video thing.

The results were predictably "AI" = complete rubbish. Even though I'm a white male.

Our brave new world of "computer said so"…

Great presentation though, kudos!

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 about that now :D

This is such a flattering website:

* 5.5 with glasses, 7.5 without. Glad I wear contacts, I guess.

* Age predicted: 20, truth: 30+

* BMI predicted: 18.7, truth: 22

I’m apparently a decently attractive (6.6) 14-year-old (I’m 34). I came closer to the cam, but it didn’t detect me doing it.

edit: And my wife actually got recognized despite being black. But it decided she’s ugly (3.4) and has no idea how old she is ;)
