AI Cute
You have become addicted to your cellphone-computer. You can’t live without it and most people check the phone 96 times per day. Those same computers are creeping into every facet of life. You may know that stores have the ability to capture your picture coming in and then sending you ads promoting the merchandise you have been looking at online right to your phone while you are in the store. So, what else have those clever programmers done to complicate your life. The computers have now sorted out who the good looking people are from the rest of us. Believe it or not…Conservative female politicians tend to appear happier and more attractive in pictures than liberal politicos, a new artificial intelligence study conducted in Denmark found.
“Scientific Reports” in March, found AI can predict a person’s political ideology with 61% accuracy by analyzing just one headshot. The scientists inputted about 3,200 publicly submitted photos of political candidates who ran in the 2017 Danish municipal election into Microsoft Azure’s Face API tool to assess the person’s emotional state. The researchers, a trio of psychologists and political scientists from Denmark and Sweden, selected 3,323 publicly submitted headshots of political candidates for analysis in a neural network capable of facial expression coding and classification. The analysis found 80% of the faces displayed a happy expression, while 19% read as neutral. “For females (though not males), high attractiveness scores were found among those the model identified as likely to be conservative,” read the findings. “These results are credible given that previous research using human raters has also highlighted a link between attractiveness and conservatism.”
Left-leaning male politicians showed more neutral, less happy faces than their conservative counterparts, the study found. “We also found that expressing happiness is associated with conservatism for both genders. “And while extraversion is not broadly associated with ideology some studies have found that right-wing politicians are more extraverted.” The deep-learning algorithm did catch one unusual distinction, however: female, left-wing political candidates were slightly more likely to be read by the neural net as having a face expressing contempt, the researchers said. “Politicians on the left and right may have different incentives for smiling — for example, smiling faces have been found to look more attractive which is comparatively important for conservative politicians.”
“Social media’s impact on children’s mental health has been a hot topic among psychologists lately, with some pointing to it being a source of body image and self-esteem problems. Although young users might be the most impressionable, the pervasive promotion of idealized body types on these platforms also takes its toll on adults.”
Cute girl smiles
A student at a marketing school came up to a pretty girl and hugged her without any warning.
The surprised girl said, “What was that?”
The guy smiled at her, “Direct marketing!”
The girl slapped him soundly. “What was that?!” asked the boy, holding his cheek.
She said, “Customer feedback.”
A beautiful girl asked me in a restaurant, “Are you single?”
Happily I replied,” Yes….”
She took away the extra chair in front of me.
Nothing beats a pretty girl with a beautiful singing voice
