Stanford University's AI can tell if you're gay or straight from a photo

Same ole tiring ****, thinking sexual preference is anything other than a choice.

This is what AI is being wasted on.

It's not being wasted at all. When they get a workable humanoid body for it, it can join "the Village People", as, "the Robot".

But know this, you'd be condemning yourself to a world barren of fashion design, musical theater, and last and most likely least, men's figure skating.

Not to mention airline stewards.

I think this is the fake news story. Some people aren't born gay. Then you don't know if they're telling the truth about their sexuality as I don't believe in lie detectors either. They're created by humans. A human created the titanic. I just wonder how far fetched this will get perhaps being wrong, as they have sex offender lists for animal abuse now for example. How far will conservatives take this?

Well Cliff, in most cases perhaps so. But, our hormones influence our sexual behaviors, long before our socialization kicks in to mitigate them. I'd hazard a guess that Tarzan would have eventually, "gotten lucky", without the benefit of parental training or HS classes in Sex-Ed. Just which species of ape or unglulate he might have gotten lucky with, is a different discussion entirely.

When female humans go into puberty, their voices change, the same as a male's, just not by the same degree. Testosterone is produced in their ovaries!

Anecdotally, The members of the USA's women's Olympic swim team, recounted they, "thought they had accidentally walked into the men's locker room, when they heard the voices of the East German and Russian women". This was before today's massive crackdown on PEDs. Those women were being injected with possibly the most effective PED of all, testosterone.

I'd often believed a woman to be not as attractive, after coitus, as she was before or during it.. So, our hormones do have a profound effect on our perceptions of the other, or perhaps the same sex.

With that said, I don't think this news is "completely fake", bu it is abysmally incomplete. I's just a case of a bunch of publicity seeking nerds, (possibly including gay nerds), wanting us to bask in their "genius", while offering gays an iron clad excuse for their sexual preferences.

So not "fake news" per se, but rather news which has been embellished quite a bit, and shouted, (er "projected"), so that it can be heard all the way to the back row of the musical theater.

Here, kick back and enjoy this track from "Cats" sung by the beautiful redhead, Simone Simons, from "Epica": (Note the soaring soprano, a sure sign she hasn't been injected or imbued with massive doses of, "the big T").

Are you imagining conservative influence in creating "sex offender lists for animals". Because it sounds more left wing liberal bullsh!t to me. "Turn in your guns, and stop banging your sheep" Do you see how nicely those very disparate topics meld?

In any event, just because the human race is bound and determined to be the dominant species on the planet, along with being the last remaining species on the planet by virtue of collateral damage, is not a valid reason we should be allowed to sexually abuse them on their abject, lonely road, to extinction.
