I tried the demo. A little sad, that it sees me as 12 years older than I am, and that I apparently always look angry and disgusted! I'm going to blame it on my glasses and bushy beard, and try to look at the bright side - apparently face scanning systems aren't quite good enough to get a read on me yet. (And try not to be too sad about looking like a grumpy old man)
(Anyone else with a glasses, a beard, or other non-typical facial features want to comment? I'm curious now how well their system handles these?)
- geowwy 9y agoIt thinks I'm 15-20 years older than I am, and even if I smile it thinks I'm angry.
- allengeorge 9y agoApparently I'm a 40+ yr-old male. At least it got the "male" part right.
- sbuttgereit 9y agoI did well... it said I was an angry 33 y/o male. Well, I am male... I'm almost 50... and I didn't think smiling at the camera conveyed anger... but who am I to question our AI overlords ;-) (edit)... on the other hand they probably were just trying to sell product so thought flattery was the right approach...
- cortesoft 9y agoBearded male here, and it got me exactly right the first time - 33 yr old male, 100% happiness. The second time it thought I was 28, which increased my happiness even more.
- tim333 9y agoPretty good with me too. Guessed 51. I'm 53. My happiness was inscrutable.

- aiahopeful 9y agoI'm a 25 year old male, bald with a full beard, and it thinks I'm a 33 year old woman. At least it could tell I was happy?
- smoyer 9y agoand profession = circus sideshow?
- ChristianGeek 9y agoA 33-year-old Russian woman?
- dingo_bat 9y agoSame experience here. Shows my age 10-15 years more than actual. I tried to smile and it just filled up the "disgust" bar. Neutral expression shows a high amount of "sadness". I wear glasses too, and have a slight beard. I don't think glasses and beard are non-typical facial features!

- finolex1 9y agoThe real metric to judge it' s effectiveness is by comparing its accuracy to an average human observer's responses. I doubt a human would do a lot better at estimating someone's age.
- dsmithatx 9y agoMost people think I'm around 30 and I'm 42. The software said I was 40 the first time and 44 on the second try.
- Gustomaximus 9y agoMS did this one a while back to estimate age. I loaded some family members and it was on the majority quite accurate. https://how-old.net/ https://how-old.net/
- ClassyJacket 9y agoSays I'm 4 years older than I am (31 / 27) and have high levels of sadness. Covered up my receding hairline a bit and it said 29. I reckon if I shaved I could get it down to about 22 since that's how old people usually think I am. Pulled a disgusted face and it said 47. Hmm.
- rukuu001 9y agoIt added 5 years to my age (42) but got everything else right. My partner tried it and it took 10 years off her age, and found an angry 31 year old man hiding in the folds of her clothing!
- spc476 9y agoGlasses and a beard. Pegged me as an angry white guy about five years younger than I am.
- pravda 9y agoI uploaded Comrade Putin. [1] Thinks he is 45 years old. He is 64! Not calibrated for the superior Russian genetics. [1] https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CuV5wciUAAA0aBz.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CuV5wciUAAA0aBz.jpg
- hnatt 9y agoIt's hard to tell, with all the plastic surgeries.
- ako 9y agoFrom the responses it feels like they are using aws recognition.
- bigiain 9y agoDon't think so - I just used the same pair of images - one with my glasses on and one without - AWS Rekognition guesses mostly the same for both of them - the sightcorp.com one doesn't even detect a face when I've got my glasses on. Rekognition guesses a wider age range - but gets a "correct" answer - the sightcorp one guesses me as 7 years younger than I am.
- bigiain 9y agoWith a bald head, beard/mo, and reading glasses it doesn't detect a face. Without the glasses it estimates me as 7 years younger than I am - and reasonably high on anger and sadness...
- elygre 9y agoOf course you look angry and disgusted. That's only natural, considering that you are aware of what's going on.
- froindt 9y agoI wonder if the age error is symmetrical, or if it tends towards guessing lower or higher? It would make for an interesting study.
