Was this AI trained on an unbalanced data set? (Only black folks?) Or has it only been used to identify photos of black people? I have so many questions: some technical, some on media sensationalism

    It’s not only growing up with them. We’re just better identifying people/animals/things we’re familiar with. Horses all look the same if you’re not around them regularly. You can distinguish colours, but that’s it.

    Not comparing people to horses by the way…

      We’re just better identifying people/animals/things we’re familiar with.

      On top of that, we are able to discern even more subtle differences in faces similar to those we are used to than those we aren’t. It’s not ‘just’ because we are human, there actually is an element dependent on who we commonly see around us. Although you can certainly acclimate to other facial characteristics with time.

        I checked your name to see if you were a contrarian from another thread. You aren’t.

        Then, I thought about the name you chose. Did you mean to spell Dessert (the treat after a meal) or was that a misspelling? Then, I considered that regardless of the intent in spelling, your name appears to refer to a war (Desert Storm: USA vs Iraq in the 90s). Even if it’s playful (Desserts Storming me, yum!), I dunno. At this point, I don’t suspect we align in ideologies. I’ll stop analyzing here.
