Thought this site might be interesting to some of you.

HowHot.io

You can upload any picture with a face and let the algorithm guess your attractiveness and age. Attractiveness is rated on 6 levels from "Hm..." to "Godlike". The AI was trained with the data of 20 million ratings of a dating app from users in Switzerland.

My pictures range from "Hm..." to "Hot". What results do you get?

Conspiracy theory, but I don't feel terribly inclined to hand over pictures of myself to a random website.

^^Or at the very least use Tor browser and upload from public wifi.

Trick question.

Any guy that cares about his facial attractiveness demonstrates his insecurity and lack of knowledge in what women respond to (unless he's gay).

This is a website for women.

I guess I'm an ugly motherfucker.

Mmmh. I got:
3/6
3/6
2/6
5/6
4/6
4/6
2/6
4/6
2/6
3/6
5/6
5/6

Forgot to check the age at the first ones, but now: 28,25,24,25,27,28,24,29.

These were all some selfies made 2 months ago. Actuallay I was 30 years old when I took them.
Maybe it helps to determine which photos of you are the best, but I am not convinced.

I think women have an unfair advantage here. No man wears makeup and shit.

My scores were OK but they guessed my age as older than it was.

Scored Stunning on the photo I used, and it was a pretty terrible photo.. guessed my age wrong by a couple of years.

I'm assuming it's looking for facial symmetry.

38/hot
29/hot
44/hot
39/ok
34/hot

I'm 39. Obviously I agree with the hot assessment (in the ok image my face was a bit thinner and I had a big smile - I had a fairly neutral look on my face in the others).

If that's the primary criteria it uses I really shouldn't have gotten above an ok in any photo. My jaw is a bit off to one side and due to some mild nerve damage in one eyelid my eye regions also look a little different.

Thought I'd give a try with a few pictures.
1) 3/6 nice and 31. Was 21 years old.
2) 4/6 hot and 18. Was 17 years old. High school picture
3) 4/6 hot and 46. Was 22 years old. H'ween and my face is covered in fake blood and bruises.
4) 4/6 hot and 27. Was 20 years old, funny thing is it zoomed in to my crotch instead of my face.
5) 4/6 hot and 36. A picture of a cat licking its arse.



Yeah this app is funny and bullshit

Are the last two genuine? While I agree that the results are bullshit, I tried with two photos it said it couldn't process because it couldn't locate a face in them, and they were indeed photos from very bad angles it seemed like it would have been difficult to do any kind of calculations from.

They were genuine. Both pictures had a face in it but I was paying attention to the square that gets analysed.

Uploaded my girlfriends's face:

"This face appears to be under 18, we do not show results for faces under 18."

Shiiiiiiiiiit

Edit: Uploaded another picture of the same girl: 5/6, 22 years old.

This website is all over the place.

Pretty incredible. I uploaded a few random male celebrities and it nailed them within a year. Even a photo from 1991 it almost fucking nailed it (missed by a year).

I then decided to try and through it off with someone who aged extremely well.... Brad Pitt. I threw a few pics of him from different years and it was giving him 8-10 years younger. When he was 40 it said he was 31 for example. Some fountain of youth shit

Post: #15

It's consistent if nothing else, nailed my age within 2yrs. Every picture a 2/6. Any idea what the algorithm is? I'm curious if the 'porcelain doll' effect from my Galaxy S5 is throwing it off, I'm far rougher than my pictures portray.

Not sure how it judges all this but it way missed my age, I am told I look younger than I am but it had me ranging between 24-30 and im late 30s, most would guess early 30s but mid 20s is rare. Ratings were a little more consistent, mostly stunnings, the odd hot and one that was nice. The nice was taken the same time as one that was rated stunning, but I wasn't facing the camera dead on, only difference. I noticed any that fell off stunning were where I faced the camera at an angle instead of dead on and stunnings were all dead on so it must affect the algorithms read.
