Finally a great use of ML
-
Based on a picture of your face it tells you how old you look.
+3 years in my case.
-
Completely failed. None of the people in the demo image are my age.
-
Dang...the hatter adds 9 years...
-
+5 years consistently in mine ... and people tell me I have a young face!
The robot obviously knows better ;--)
-
+4 years for me, but to be fair I've looked 5 - 10 years older than I actually am ever since puberty. Most people think I'm in my mid 30's.
-
Yes, I know, facial recognition is designed for humans, not pink anthropomorphic hedgehogs
-
-
Tried a real picture. +6 on me, -5 on my mom, +3 on my dad, -3 on my son, +13 on my daughter.
-
+11; -4; +6; +8; +3
damn robot
-
I wish I had a picture of me with no facial hair to see how that changes it.
-
just tried it. -8 for me. which is a lot less than the average for my pictures
-
I'd have to go back...err...18 years to find one of those. Hmm...found another one that has me at the right age and my wife at -11.
-
I've had at least a mustache since I was about 13, so I'd have to go back pretty far too!
Now that I'm older and more mature, I wonder how many kids thought I was a creep but I didn't notice or care at the time.
-
Damn, my wife got +10... It's going to be a long night... Thank you Microsoft! Always doing evil!
-
The only photo of me I have handy is my company ID photo, taken 4.5 years ago. It got pretty close, about +2 from what I was at the time. I'm definitely a bit disappointed; for most of my life I've looked rather younger than I am. (I was once told that during grade school graduation, someone asked what that kindergartner was doing up there with the 6th graders.) When I was young, I did not consider this a good thing; now I do.
When that picture was taken, I had short hair and a pencil mustache. I wonder what it would say now, with hair beyond shoulder length and a full, but neatly trimmed, beard.
-
Thirty nine?!
That is a LOT older than I am!
My prom photo I dug out rang up as thirty three.
It's gotta be the glasses; a photo with my contacts in from my university graduation rang up as 23, which is pretty spot-on.
-
+14 D:
<body is invalid:
-
It told me I'm
# 26
-
With glasses: +5
Without glasses: +7Unrelated anecdote: A couple weeks ago I was carded at the liquor store. The clerk did a double-take when he saw my birthdate.
-
I'd do a double take too if I saw a dog trying to buy liquor.

How much you want to bet it's simply looking for shadows.
Besides, I was just in a meeting where this dude said he had a 15 year old child, and I swear he didn't look a day over 25.
If humans, who have whole sections of the brain for analyzing faces, can't do it...
-
To be fair, a lot of humans get my
gendersex wrong as well, but usually they haven't seen my face yet when they call me "that lady".
-
This post is deleted!
-
I thought you people were talking about ML the programming language, geez.
There'll never be a good use for it, will there?
-
for my Halloween one. Way off. (37 for the other one which is off in the other direction.)
-
+6, although I generally look young for my age. But it was a really bad selfie taken just now as I didn't have any picture of myself (couldn't detect any faces on my avatar, of course).
-
Yay! Without beard it was spot on.
-
There's no such thing as a free lunch...
-
Netizens giggle while boffins advertise services on the back of data slurp
I hate the British.

An invitation extended to the internet-at-large to help Bill Gates sell his services to all comers
Gates stopped running MS almost a decade ago…
But then, expecting The Register to do basic research is like expecting the Atlantic Ocean to have no water.
-
I came up 6 years too young - the thing completely ignores gray hair.
Also:
Dr. Phil 36
TOS Spock 51
TOS Scotty 52Tried ridiculous birdman from ST-Animated Series - no face detected.
(implies Blakey is, or was, ageless!)

When my younger sister was in high school, everyone thought I was her father. Now, everyone seems to think she's older than me which I find hilarious because everyone thinks I'm 30-something and she's only 22 and I can tease her about looking old.
-
I'm not surprised in the least.the thing completely ignores gray hair.
Computers are wonderful like that. You spend weeks experimenting with different ML algorithms and image attributes, get something that is reasonably accurate, pat yourself on the back, and then receive a new batch of images with several billion edge cases that you hadn't even thought to account for.
-
Picture taken and uploaded (has beard): -3 years.
Picture from 2 years ago (no beard): +2 years.Edit: the site is, apparently, a data source for a advertising MS big data services.
-
Huh, with headphones around my neck +1 without +6. Neither had the head phones in the little face box so dunno what the difference was.
-
...abbr tag on mobile is weird now
-
It's been like that for a while; it's been done because you can't hover on a touchscreen ;)
-
Still weird
-
But you can tap it.

It does a decent job recognising some faces in Skyrim screenshots. Most character faces seem to be recognised if you get a good shot of them, but it has trouble with helmets and statue faces (particularly this statue).
It didn't recognise the face of the avatar I use here (a Dwarf from World of Warcraft, before the model updates).
It thought Son of Dave looked 55 in this photo (his YouTube avatar). According to Wikipedia he's 48, so it's not that far off.
-
I should try and see if it can recognize some of the avatars for my Eve Online characters...
-
I don't get it.
-
It's because you didn't use the Discoround version
-
My sister just showed me her new Miui phone, and apparently the camera already has this feature! Microsoft late as usual.
-
Also, this guy is invisible to computers

Tap-and-hold works in Metro IE, of all browsers. Which is nice, because it doesn't use the mobile stylesheet.
There's no such thing as a free lunch...
Wow, they're collecting even less information than a standard browser fingerprint! When did MS get so nice?

I think you're taking The Register too seriously.
-
If it was a parody site, you'd have a point
-
Amazing! The mustache didn't fool it. Still got tagged as female.
