not too great, i submitted a photo taken of me at graduation. it got the location totally wrong and was around 50%-70% accurate on my hobbies and interests. it was able to correctly guess my sexuality and ethnicity, which is rather unsurprising.

#92The description it generated is a stereotype of who I am. It did correctly asses that I'm white though.
I uploaded a picture of me from Halloween wearing a katana. It classified me as asexual, atheist, interested in crime, vandalism, and with a racial bias against immigrants. It also suggests that I should be offered ads for black market weapon dealers (Silk Road) and/or an arsonist starter kit (Amazon, surprisingly).
If you're looking forward to attracting the attention of automated police systems then now you know how.

#93I see a lot of comments saying all the guesses are totally wrong or horoscope-like.
But, can I offer a quandary? Some companies won't care if it's wrong.
If some executive decides to buy into AI profiling like this, and make customer decisions based on it, then how would the customer ever know:
1. why they are being treated differently
2. know how or why to correct it
I don't know if it's scarier being RIGHT or WRONG

#94You inferred this from the photo? > He is presumed to be agnostic, heterosexual, and politically aligned with the Democratic party
> politically aligned with the Democratic party
That's sometimes possible (e.g. the "Trump woman" look, or certain "I know it when I see it" stylistic cues mainly displayed by progressive women that I can't really articulate). Polarization has turned political alignment into subculture, and members of subcultures often dress certain ways (and not necessarily consciously).

#95Mine was super wrong. I was outside and it still guessed a wildly wrong location. It was wrong about my age and my interests.

#96Lazy. It just spits out demographic info.
I will say I am impressed with Instagram advertising me music software. I really like making music and I’ve bought quite a few things off of Instagram ads.
That’s advertising done right!

Re: They See Your Photos
#99Reads like a horoscope, just vague stuff that's always gonna be slightly true... Picture of me in Oslo and it says "he enjoys travel". And then some really weird stuff: "he may also have a penchant for video games, excessive drinking, and skipping work". Guessing my exact location - Oslo Opera House - was impressive though.
For me, it was all vague stuff and yet, none of it was true.

#100Most comments seem to focus on the accuracy here. That does not seem to be the point of the website though.
They merely seem to want to point out that this is the way Google, Meta and anyone else with access to your photos look at those photos. And will abuse access to them by mining them for data to sell you stuff.
