GAYDAR: VISUAL TECTN OF SEXUAL ORIENTATN AMONG GAY AND STRAIGHT MEN

The Stanford eggheads behd that first rearch – Yilun Wang, a graduate stunt, and Michal Kosski, an associate profsor – even claimed that not only uld nral works ss out a person’s sexual orientatn, algorhms had an even better gaydar than humans. Notably, straight women were more likely to wear eye shadow than gay women Wang and Kosski’s dataset. Straight men were more likely to wear glass than gay men.

So, do this mean that AI really n tell if someone is gay or straight om their face?
