There's a whole lot of random people chiming in and guessing on Twitter (shocker) so it is worth pointing out that:
> The algorithm does not do face detection at all (it actually replaced a previous algorithm which did).

Not to say there is or isn't a problem to be fixed, more work is needed to understand. Such as the analysis at https://twitter.com/vinayprabhu/status/1307460502017028096?s=20 https://twitter.com/vinayprabhu/status/1307460502017028096?s...
- 8fGTBjZxBcHq 6y agoWhy is it worth pointing that out? Like you said, the problem is there either way. What are lay people supposed to gain from hearing that the algorithm's designers don't consider it to be based on face detection?
- kingosticks 6y agoBecause it has totally derailed many of the twitter threads. Thankfully we get less conspiracy theories here but I figured we could try and avoid it altogether.
