Hot or not - gets smarter. Now artificial intelligence evaluates the appearance of people and puts such assessments: hmm, OK, good, amazing, godlike. The essence of the application is that you upload a photo, and artificial intelligence, taking into account your age and appearance, gives ratings.
The application was developed by a company from Zurich. The Computer Vision Laboratory.
The practical application of the application is somewhat doubtful. Now it is mainly used for fun, people check photos of their acquaintances, stars, and publish them on social networks under a hash tag #HowHot. Sometimes the results of the assessment are very unexpected.
The developers insist that this resource provides subjective assessments, starting from the canons of beauty recognized in Switzerland, so you should not take the results seriously.
The site is gaining popularity very quickly. Developers are trying to debug the main processes. Sometimes the resource does not cope with the number of visitors. According to users, the algorithm has not yet been finalized. Sometimes for the same photo resource gives different results. In addition, the algorithm does not recognize the image separately, but evaluates the entire photo. But users are not confused by the resource with every day more and more fans.
It is noteworthy that while checking men from the ranking Glamour's sexiest men of 2015Most of them were rated “awesome” or “hot”, but Farrell Williams was rated just “OK”, but Robert Pattison and Jamie Dornan were rated as “godlike” by the program.
