Reality doesn't matter, only the accusation. That's the way it works. No doubt it's racist too. Probably "transphobic" as well.

Some people like to attach false authority to their opinion. "I don't like it" doesn't do that. "It's <insert currently unfashionable prejudice here>" does. It changes the statement from "I think this is bad" to "this is bad and if you don't agree you are bad too".

I love how people are saying that it does not work because if they use it without make-up, it looks wrong...

Its designed to remove make-up, putting in a picture with no-make is bound to make it behave oddly... [..]

If it did remove make-up, then putting in a picture with no make-up would result in no change to the picture. In order to remove make-up it would have to evaluate what make-up is present.

If it "removes" make-up when there wasn't any, then at best what it's doing is editing the photo on the basis of a guess about average make-up and also a guess about average appearance without make-up.

EDIT: Having seen a few examples, I think it would be more accurate to call it a harsh homelessness simulation because it makes you look like you've been sleeping rough for a while and had a hard time of it.

Not owned

Blade Runner, as I'm sure you know featured an 'Esper' machine which let Deckard look around corners in bathrooms and stuff from a 2D image to see things that would never have been photographed.

So are we just letting this one pass?

Apparently amigafan2003 has created an app from which you could feed it a picture say from your childhood and them look around at the surrounding scene not actually captured by the photograph. I for one feel want to be the first to congratulate him on his future billions. Well done.

This is the "PC" world we live in now I guess...
 
I'm beginning to see a pattern with this type of 'pc world we live in' stories. Something get's released, literally 2 people of twitter are annoyed/offended by it everyone else doesn't care, 'news' outlet then writes a story on how the whole of twitter is offended with screenshots of the two said tweets. Cue everyone else complaining about 'sjw' 'liberals' blah blah etc When in fact nobody really cared in the first place and it's typical trash online articles trying to get clicks/views.

I uninstalled it, but I'm now curious to see what happens if you continuously run the "after" photo through it. Stacking the effects if you will.

I got more and more bald, I looked like I'd spent another night getting kicked in by a biker gang, and eventually I just became a pixelated 90's computer game version of a hobo.

Tried it on pics of my dogs, but they just looked awsome, no matter what I did!

I'd not pay him a cent for that kind of feature.
If I want to be utterly terrified I'll simply watch a horror film while sitting upside down in a roller coaster. I don't want or need to revisit my childhood!

Why are people living in PC World?
Is there a housing shortage round your area, or can you just not find the exit? :p
