If we were at a county fair, the Microsoft “Guess Your Age” tent would be out of prizes already.
According to Gizmodo, Microsoft is using their new Face API to power the website how-old.net, where they will guess the age of people from a single photo. However, odds are they’re going to guess wrong and make you feel like pure garbage in the process.
Take the photo below that was taken at the World Cup in Brazil last year, for example. Our super lucky editors Max and Gary spent 10 days down there thanks to Degree, and they decided to take a picture next to a couple huge creepy statues for some reason. How-old.net said the guys were both 39 years old even though they were 32 and 31 years old respectively.
And this is our editor-in-chief Paul enjoying the hell out of some cheese pizza. How-old.net said he was a 41-year-old woman despite the fact that he’s really a 35-year-old dude. Maybe Microsoft’s Face API was just as confused about his “reflection” as we were.
The bottom line? You guessed it: Gary might want to think about shaving.
Hey, it could be a lot worse. They could have created an app that allows you to share your farts with people. Oh wait… Finally, An App That Lets You Share Your Farts With People Who Want to Hear Them
