https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/sep/07/new-artificial-intelligence-can-tell-whether-youre-gay-or-straight-from-a-photograph

An algorithm deduced the sexuality of people on a dating site with up to 91% accuracy, raising tricky ethical questions

Artificial intelligence can accurately guess whether people are gay or straight based on photos of their faces, according to new research suggesting that machines can have significantly better “gaydar” than humans.

The study from Stanford University – which found that a computer algorithm could correctly distinguish between gay and straight men 81% of the time, and 74% for women – has raised questions about the biological origins of sexual orientation, the ethics of facial-detection technology and the potential for this kind of software to violate people’s privacy or be abused for anti-LGBT purposes.

It's not AI. All of these social media sites and free apps know exactly who you are and are simply matching you up according to data it has. Algos bro.

Possible, but that's not what the article says. It's based on appearances.

Chaz appears to have put "Lezbian Trans" in her FB profile.

So,

Is it publicly released?

There's an old thread around here where some members posted their pictures.

You see where I'm going with this? Huh?  HUH?

I thought this was going to be one of those things where you get your friends to upload their photos to the site and it says "totally gay" every time.

If less than 10% of the population were homosexual, and the software just said everyone viewed was straight, it would be accurate about 91% of the time.  Am I missing something here?

Gaydar

I can spot queers but who cares.

I can spot them before they even know they caught the gay.

I think they are born that way, for the most part.

Great - the snowflakes programmed sterotypes into AI.

If AI had a face it'd look like one of those homos in Deliverance.

So gay men and women "tend to have gender atypical features, facial expressions, and grooming styles?"


Gee, that's a shocker.

If the computer just guesses "straight" every time it could approach 95%+ accuracy if the sample is random.
