Microsoft's how-old.net will try (and fail) to tell your age

Upload a picture, and it tells you age and sex. If this script is to be believed, I am now ineligible to make Forbes’ 30 under 30. Bugger.

It’s still a work in progress, potentially neat stuff. If it eventually works, goodbye football age.

This is creepy.

Definitely not right.

The script is certainly looking for the ‘ruggedity’(not an actual word, of course.) and contours in your face before taking a guess. Smile more, fresh face and you will be 19.

@lordbanks should cut his hair and retry. Forbes might just come back.

I wanted to guess that the algorithm is being trained, but there’s no provision for a user to correct the algorithm & tell it one’s true age.

So, I’m confused trying to figure out how it would eventually correct itself.

Not a chance
