Well, if it makes you feel better, see what the algo thinks is hot… https://polybox.ethz.ch/index.php/s/tI9QTAblYVanuA9 :-)

I've been feeding it various pictures of fursuits at different angles to see if I could force it to treat one as human, but so far I've been unsuccessful.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don't feel too bad -- I ran a photo of Brad Pitt through it and he merely got a "Nice". Granted, I tried a second one and he got "Godlike". I wonder how sensitive the results are to general lighting in the photo.

I think ethnicity does play some role too (which maybe works with the lighting hypothesis?). I put pictures of really attractive Asian guys (specifically men who honestly have a lot of diehard female fans who are interested in them) and at best they got "Nice"

This is actually a very interesting effect -- it exposes opinions people are generally not comfortable at expressing, for fear of being labeled as racist or something.

Sadly, asian guys are considered much less attractive than our female counterparts in Switzerland.

On a more positive note, now I know if a swiss girl likes me, she's probably not superficial. lol

Startup idea #384826 - "Does this outfit make me look fat?" As A Service

This would be good if you can turn this into a mirror IoT device. (°ロ°) Just imagine how many people would buy this if Kim Kardashian got involved

Get rid of the headphones and try again

At the time that picture was taken, I didn't own speakers.

Now, I look even worse and don't own a working webcam.

Well, it was way off on my age, but it correctly gendered me ad female. Which I find quite impressive as I am a transgender woman, I've only been on hormones for 4 months, and most humans aren't even correctly gendering in me yet. More than anything, I'm curious to know what features it was that registered me as female. Was it as simple as the long hair, or some complicated subtle mix of many small details?

Guessing gender is at worst 50% chance of getting it right. And long hair is one of the big features these algorithms learn.
