FaceApp apparently now has race filters. I never got the humor in these.

such impressive technology tho
Definitely no weird racist stereotyping going on when the algorithm decides that Brown Trump needs a mustache.

I presume that it was trained on celebrities considered attractive, and that would have a bias towards white actors and actresses (because socially, and unfortunately, that's a bias that exists - you can look at any top 100), resulting in lightening dark skin.
That seems more reasonable that any malicious intent, and the fact that they disabled it (at least I recall them doing so) suggests it being a result of the algorithm rather than anything purposeful.

Been there, done that. Whatever you do, if you're black, don't try to do the black filter on yourself. IT JUST DOESN'T WORK!

That shit is funny as fuck. Black Trump looks like hes disappointed in white Trump.
Even the black person filter is disgusted being on such a wretched person.
You're welcome. Just resist the urge to make one of the pictures your FB avatar as an attempt to make folks laugh at the fact you're displaying yourself as a race that you're not, or else you'll find yourself on the wrong side of "I'm not racist, but..."
Yes it was due to limited training data and just really poor testing. I have no idea how they managed to not see that coming. They removed that after people rightly protested it.

Pretty crazy how the cgi look stays intact.

Mine looked too weird. It didn't look as smooth, instead it was like other people's faces overlayed over mine.

I have a feeling the database is built off of famous people's portraits so it's often you'll see celebrity features expressed.

Yes, it is. They trained the neural net it via thousands of stock and celebrity photos.

It's kind of weird that you are coming up with all of these somewhat creepy and racist scenarios. I guess it could happen, but why would anyone do it?!
Every version of me looks dorky.
Dude. All those look legit real. And I know Photoshops.

It has to be, the channels there are too defined not to be. It's still really impressive how well it meshes. But I agree that it's definitely other faces mapped over.
Moore's Law and recorded examples of people already lying about their race online in the dating world.

I wanna see what the limits of this tech are.
I disagree, but if I went on about it, I'd have folks saying I'm thinking too much.
Black Lightning is impressive.
Is there anyone Morgan Freeman can't play?
