Have you ever been asked, “How old do you think I am?” It’s a tough question to answer, often leading to a cringe-worthy moment. Flatter them with a younger guess, and they see right through it; hit their actual age, and you risk an awkward silence. It’s a no-win scenario. Microsoft has recently joined the fray with their new online tool that’s intended to guess your age based on your photos—and it’s not doing so well.
According to Fortune, the tech giant has created a facial recognition tool that one of its teams decided to turn into a fun website called How-Old.net. Users can input a name, and the site will pull pictures from the internet for you to analyze. The first image of myself returned a guess of 19, while the next one said 33. In reality, I’m 42. So, I’ve come to realize I have a talent for misleading the #HowOldBot, at least.
Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to test it on some celebrities whose ages have always intrigued me. First up, the cast of the Real Housewives of New York—who knows their real ages? Then, I tried the Olsen twins (actual age: 28). And of course, a classic: the cast of 90210, where we all knew they weren’t really high schoolers—poor Andrea! The results were hilarious.
The Mean Girls cast? All over the place.
And now, I’ll pause—clearly you see the trend. Welcome to your Friday distraction! Just try not to think about how odd it is to upload your photo to a site that’s scanning it for age estimation. Because that’s totally not creepy at all.
