Maybe I'm cynical but I'm wondering if this just uses facial recognition to match your photo online on social media, then looks for a birthdate :P

- 300bps 12y agoDid you try it? Because in using several pictures of me and other people I know it seemed wholly inaccurate. If they were cheating, they're not very good cheaters.
- baddox 12y agoI don't think facial recognition over such a large dataset is feasible, but they could probably try to match the exact image itself.
- Impossible 12y agoI thought it was doing this with the first picture of myself I tried, because it was a picture from a few years ago that guessed my current age. After trying another, 5 year old picture that is the portrait I use for social networks and it guessed that I was younger I figured this wasn't the case :).
- pge 12y agoI used two photos of me both taken the same day (corporate headshots that both appear on wedsites and in social media with my name), and it returned different answers. Both answers were significantly off.
