    Artificial Intelligence can identify 'gay faces' from photos?

    -Artificial intelligence can figure out a person's sexual orientation by analysing a picture of their face, a controversial new study claims.

    According to its authors, who say they were "really disturbed" by their findings, the accuracy of an AI system can reach 91 per cent for homosexual men and 83 per cent for homosexual women.

    The study also concludes that homosexual men and women tend to have "gender-atypical facial morphology, expression, and grooming styles".

    The paper, titled Deep neural networks are more accurate than humans at detecting sexual orientation from facial images, was co-authored by Stanford University's Yilun Wang and Michal Kosinski, and first spotted by the Economist.

    In it, they claim to "show that faces contain much more information about sexual orientation than can be perceived and interpreted by the human brain".

    The researchers used deep neural networks to analyse 35,326 images of faces, taken from a US dating site, with the specific aim of identifying "links between characteristics and facial features that might be missed or misinterpreted by the human brain"...

    ...The researchers say that homosexual men were found to have narrower jaws, longer noses, larger foreheads and less facial hair than heterosexual men, and that homosexual women tended to have larger jaws and smaller foreheads than heterosexual women.

    They added: "Lesbians tended to use less eye makeup, had darker hair, and wore less revealing clothes (note the higher neckline)—indicating less feminine grooming and style. Furthermore, although women tend to smile more in general, lesbians smiled less than their heterosexual counterparts...

    There are spirits involved, which in time can change one's countenance. Just an observance I have noticed over the years.

    General facial expressions change with attitudes, definitely. Doesn't even have to be demonic.
