Facial recognition software has not yet reached the maturity phase

A friend sent me a link for some online facial recognition software and I’ve been playing around with it. I’ve uploaded several pictures, and so far it’s told me I look like the following people:

I kind of wished they’d loaded up Bobby from King Of The Hill. I wanted to test the theory.

Oh, and on the attempt that said I resembled Daniela Pestova, it said my wife looked like Elijah Wood. I don’t know what’s worse, that I look like a Czech supermodel or that I married Frodo of the Shire.

  1. I agree. That thing is weird. It said that I resembled Kate Winslet. As flattering as that is, I’m not so sure Kate would agree 😛

  2. I remember trying this out after reading an article on it. It seems to think I look like:

    Chester Charles Bennington (Linkin Park) (76%)

    Aki Hakala (The Rasmus) (73%)

    Piper Perabo (Actress) (73%)

    Gael Garcia Bernal (72%) If only for the Natalie Portman factor.

    Robert Downey Jr. (72%) We’ve both dressed up as Charlie Chaplin

    Matthew Perry (71%)

    In all the pictures everyone of them had black rimmed rectangular glasses.

    Rounding out the rest….Jack Osbourne (if i doubled in size), Peter Sellers, Philip Seymour Hoffman and…….Ricky Martin!!!!

    WITHOUT glasses I’m:

    George Clooney (78% – I wish!), Carson Daly (I would never wish that), Keanu Reeves (see previous), Kevin Bacon (6 degrees…), Billy Bob Thorton (he did get to sleep with Angelina), James Joyce (Genius).

    Ok I’m done.
