Age and gender are derived using the FaceApiJS project. In my own experience it's doesn't vary as wildly if you're a white male. With other ethnicities the predictability levels can drop, especially if you're Asian.
Hey it's you! You wrote social cooling too, which I really enjoyed.
Great site. Thank you for sharing it.

I think this is entirely the point - to highlight how these algorithms are used in every day life, and how unreliable they are.
It points it out by "raising your eyebrows to make it think you're less fat" and "move your head around to change your age".
> I don't think the ratings for this is very stable & reproducible.
I think that's part of the point though -- the claim is that these are being used, regardless of how predictable they are.
Just something to think about.
Also it called me ugly :<
Edit:
I just ran the website for a second time and didn't change my clothes or anything, and it gave me very different results.
ie. gender, age, bmi, attractiveness all different.
I don't think the ratings for this is very stable & reproducible.
at least it rated my girlfriend as abnormally attractive. :)
