Ah yes, joining the 5% of startups attempting to recreate that scene from "Clueless." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNDubWJU0aU
That is the first thing I thought of as well. Giant 'mis-match!' dialog is the best.

#92While I'm not a fan of Amazon controlling a webcam in my bedroom it would be nice to tell my SO to ask Alexa the next time she asks for wardrobe advice.

#93I've looked at this pretty hard and concluded that, inexplicably, it is not an April Fools joke.
Same here. On the flip side, there is a bra-fitting app called "ThirdLove"[1] are doing this kind of computer vision/machine learning AI to help women for years. So Amazon Echo Look is not completely out of the line here. [1]: https://www.thirlove.com
I couldn't help but think of this, from Viz (a puerile but hilarious adult comic book from the UK).

Also, perhaps appropriately, you missed a 'd' from your link.

#94I don't know much about fashion but I feel like wearable WiFi jammers are up and coming.

I can easily see this selling like hotcakes. I can see a lot of fashion conscious young people loving a history of what they wore every day.
Fashion conscious and (irrevocably vain or hopelessly insecure).
It's not more vain than going after the last JS framework or busting your ass in the latest SF startup that's totally going to be a unicorn.
You're not the target, and that's ok, but there's no need to be condescending to the one that might be interested

#97They've created a home internet-enabled camera, and decided to market it as... an AI fashion critic?
I'm just curious how the fashion advice works. Is there an active human component? Or is it purely ML based. I'll be quite impressed if ML can give meaningful feedback for the subtleties of what is considered flattering.
It doesn't need ML, it will always be ever so slightly critical, enough to lower your self esteem and hence make you more vulnerable to buying crap from Amazon.

#98I don't think I've ever been less the target audience for an Amazon product. But I bet this will sell a lot.
I grew up in a world where you would never even consider taking a picture of yourself to show off how good you looked to your friends. Even now, living in a world of selfie-sticks designed to do exactly that, with a population full of people doing exactly that, the idea makes me cringe inside and imagine what would happen if Jason's High School from the 80's discovered a video of Jason from the 80's using this device. It would have "ruined my life".
Interesting to watch the world change. If a bit horrifying.

You might be on to something. But the video on the website is really notable to me for using real people (not abnormally attractive women). The clothes also look fairly normal. They seem to be going for some kind of genuineness here.

#100> Style Check keeps your look on point using advanced machine learning algorithms and advice from fashion specialists. Submit two photos for a second opinion on which outfit looks best on you based on fit, color, styling, and current trends. Taking narcissism, insecurity, and invasion of privacy to the next level. Well done, Amazon! Now that we're replacing mirrors with cameras, what's next? Covering our windows with…
Caring that your clothes look good is narcissism (excessive interest in your appearance) now? Have you ever asked a friend if they like the suit you just bought? Do you go to work in a burlap sack?
Knowingly and willingly sending people photos of yourself is an "invasion" of privacy?
