I think people do realize that it’s codifying the “science” of “Ah reckon” and realize that same heuristic is famously terrible. Coding bias intentionally into an algorithm seems more like a thin justification for pre-existing profiling than any breakthrough in reading faces. It’s not hard to imagine the same behavior we seem today, but now with the excuse that “The algorithm did it.”
