I was not sure what to post this under (maybe we need a technology forum?) but I thought it was interesting and wanted to share.

There is an article in The Guardian that claims "New AI can guess whether you're gay or straight from a photograph "

https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...m-a-photograph

Supposedly it can "...correctly distinguish between gay and straight men 81% of the time, and 74% for women..."

It bring up some interesting questions - do people "look" gay? I mean sure Boy George you pretty much knew at first glance - but what does being gay look like?

I do know since I have horrible "gaydar" this would have been helpful over the years - imagine feeding your school yearbook into the system!
