@mcnado@mstdn.social facial recognition algorithms work on a fairly standard training set, in a similar way to how the brain does. You've ever been to the grocery store and say "That person looks so familiar! Where do I know them from?" Only to discover you've never met them. The same thing happens with these models. The brain itself doesn't even have facial recognition, it has feature recognition. And these models work the same way. It's VERY unreliable.
