Resting Bitch Face Alerts

In the future, woman may get alerts that they currently have a resting bitch face and they should adjust their expression:

Amazon Says It Can Detect Fear on Your Face. You Scared?
The company updates its Rekognition suite with an algorithm that can tell if you’re afraid. Researchers say such emotion detectors don’t work very well.

Amazon announced a breakthrough from its AI experts Monday: Their algorithms can now read fear on your face, at a cost of $0.001 per image—or less if you process more than 1 million images.

They through in AI for their own marketing hype. It's just looking for certain combinations of bits in a picture.

The world is really being fooled with the term AI.

It's known within tech circles that the term "AI" is overused to described a subset of programming.

AI should be restricted to only code that learns on its own.

I think the beauty of the post is the cost savings.

I've been saying it from day 1.

Other people say to me "Oh no, it's blah blah."

I suspect they are part of the Everyone Should Code group.
