Title: How old does that picture say you are?

The picture of me in Cuba it got right within a year; one of me on my 65th birthday it said 75, and one of me at 62 with my grandson on my shoulders it suggested I was 37. It also said 37 for me with a beard at 26.

So, rather variable!

Have fun!

Post by: Lines on 02 May 2015, 19:35: I did my FB profile pic and it hit my age right on the head, but it failed to recognize my husband at all. Which was odd, since more of his face is in the photo than mine.

Smiles: younger
frown: older

I don't know, it looks like a completely useless, but not even very surprising or novel feature. Everyone knows that you can look vastly different in photos depending on your facial expression and the lighting.

Post by: Akima on 04 May 2015, 05:49: It seemed to assess me as around ten years younger than I actually am. One outlier made me seventeen (it was an older pic but I was in my late twenties when it was taken). :psyduck: Possibly it is confused by East Asians.

Post by: The Seldom Killer on 04 May 2015, 12:16: Wouldn't surprise me, I think Western perception of East Asian age is pretty shaky. Possibly because we're trying to apply our indicators which aren't always relevant. I know I'm terrible at it and have done embarrassing things because of it.

Well, it's consistent with everybody saying I look older than the twenty I am.
