How Normal Am I?

Tijmen Schep, Oct 22, 2020

This is an exceptionally effective demonstration of some of the things websites can do to draw conclusions about you. How Normal Am I? is an art project/tech demo website by Tijmen Schep that I found on Metafilter. It says it's using face-recognition to gauge how "normal" you are but as the Metafilter post says, "At least that is the link-baity hook. What it is really doing is giving a short but effective demonstration of what is possible in the field of recognizing and categorizing people." It's definitely worth trying out, but be warned: as the first comment notes, "this turned the camera on on my laptop, then never turned it off."
