Curious what happens when it thinks a cis woman is trans.
…and it will happen.
Already has. Creator of the app doesn't past the screening test.
Whaaat, an app created to enforce sexist norms regarding who counts as a woman did just that?? 😲
oh my god, this is delicious
edit: is this actually her tool, or just some random online test? because the actual app is still described as in making.
Different tool
I recognize the tool used and it genders me correctly all the time, so probably not what she's going for
The entire thread of the OG post is gold.
If this AI was so fucking smart why doesn't it just use facial recognition of celebs like RuPaul to wipe out a bunch of false positives?
The woman who launched the site gets clocked as trans by gender prediction systems. It's already happened.
Ah thanks. It says that in the article?
There will be a right wing meltdown when someone like Chloe Cole is rejected.
