My wife, on me telling her about this, pointed the most obvious way Instagram could be using this, without storing, recording, or transmitting anything.
As you scroll your feed, they analyze your face, and use your expressions to see how you feel about a particular post. It’s like “likes” on steroids.
They already have the face detection, expression detection, etc code built into their app through the filters and those act in real time and locally. It would be super easy to redirect that towards analyzing user expressions in response to posts they may be reading at the time.

It's possible companies would do things like this if were technically feasible, but we're a long way away (I work on camera ML at IG).

- notnap 6y agoBattery life always takes a dive when you have Fb apps installed, including Instagram.
- addicted 6y agoDo Instagram filters destroy battery life? Because that’s all they need. And even less than normal because you don’t need to figure out bunny ears and exaggerated smiles. Simply whether a person is smiling or not.
- CardenB 6y agoCan you link to me a project hat does facial sentiment analysis in an efficient way? Actually curious if it’s possible to do this without hurting battery life much.

- addicted 6y agoCitation needed for what? It’s obvious speculation. But it makes a lot of sense.
- temporary12345 6y agoUFOs speculations also make a lot of sense, they are reasonable explanations why cows are missing. But there are no evidence to believe it is a malicious intent. Just speculations.
