“How old do you think I am?” This seemingly innocent question can be a minefield. Answer too low, and you risk seeming disingenuous; guess right, and you’ve created an awkward, anti-climactic moment. Honestly, there’s no winning with this one. Microsoft is discovering this for themselves with their new website that attempts to assess your age through facial recognition technology—though it’s not going quite as planned.
As reported by Fortune, the tech giant rolled out a tool designed for facial analysis, and one of their teams decided to have a bit of fun by launching a site called How-Old.net. You can enter a name, and the site will fetch images from the internet for you to select from. The first image of myself it scanned suggested I was 19. The next one guessed I was 33. The truth? I’m 42. Clearly, I’ve mastered the art of photo deception—or at least I’ve outsmarted the #HowOldRobot.
Curious about others, I decided to have some fun with celebrities whose ages have always intrigued me. What would it say about the cast of The Real Housewives of New York? (Real age: who knows!) How about the Olsen twins? (Actual age: 28) And the cast of 90210? (We all knew they weren’t actually teenagers—yikes, Andrea!) Hilarious indeed.
Mean Girls? The results were all over the map.
Alright, I’ll stop there—you get the idea. Welcome to your Friday distraction! Just try not to dwell on how odd it is to upload your photo to a site that’s analyzing it for age estimation. Because that’s perfectly normal, right?
