So this found a headshot on company website. Low hanging fruit. But it also found a stock photo where I am fairly fuzzy in the background of a local event I definitely attended...this really impressed me. Then quite a few photos definitely not me.

I like the fact that you have to certify it is a picture of you. Reminds me the "Are you over 18?" on pr0n websites.

  our poor recognition of faces is a FEATURE, not a bug. This is designed to ensure that privacy is maintained while searching, just in case you were lying (/s)

  Speaking of which I uploaded a screen-clip from an, ahem, webcam site (so not pre-existing image), and it did indeed find related only-fans images. Definitely a privacy concern.

This is fascinating and well done. I wonder who is behind the site.

Like others this returned total nonsense. Not even one remotely close. (I’m a white dude with publicly visible photos online ICYAI). It’s stupid and irresponsible that they have made this publicly available. Hopefully the fact that it’s terrible will tank it.

Maybe I am a "unique" looking person but I just took a grainy webcam image of the top 3/4 of my face and 4th result was me. I added another with my glasses off and then top two were me. This is the first time facial recognition has scared the hell out of me.

  Interesting. Do you have images and pictures of yourself publicly available online? It didn’t pull up anything for me. But now I’m worried the pics I uploaded of myself will be used and fed in to this apps data library.

This gave me acceptable results for an image taken from thispersondoesnotexists.com -- something which now makes me question both the services and their offerings.

Reading the comments here, it seems like the service is hit or miss. It doesn’t seem to find anything online of pictures of me. I tried celebs and athletes, that seems to work and it actually finds and returns back the exact pictures that I uploaded.
