It has come to our attention that two computer dudes, innocently futzing around with “Microsoft’s newly released Face Detection APIs,” have invented a website entitled How-Old.net, which enables users to upload their selfies and give the computer algorithm a chance to guess their age. Its existence immediately proved divisive among the Jezebel staff.
Point: This Website Blows
Literally fuck this website. Surely it took a modicum of technological capability and a propensity for toying with code to create such an algorithm, but its results are utter arbitrary bullshit, and the expectation that a computer might be able to recognize human characteristics is ungodly. It is the heathen personification of mathematics, and if I believed in God, I would also believe in God’s wish to smite its creators.
