This is hilarious, but also: how could anyone develop such a tool and not at least test it out on their own images? Someone with a public persona no less! Boggles my mind.
I mean, I bet they did, but you can't test it with all the photos ever taken of you. Someone probably tried dozens of photos to get this result. Which, to be clear, I admire.
It looks like it's the photo from her tweet
I would assume it was taken just for this tweet so all the testing would have been completed by that time.
Well - in this case it's the photo she posted herself, to announce the app.
Wow
Hubris.
They did, they know it doesn't work, but they are already too far down in the money hole. Gotta grift and bullshit and spread bigotry until they make back the money.
Edit: Some words
The false result is from some unrelated gender detection tool that has nothing to do with the app. Nothing here indicates the actual app makes the same error.
The post is basically saying "this thing doesn't work because I tried something else and it didn't work".
Of course regardless it doesn't work also because it just doesn't work.
I'm sure the app doesn't work reliably, and the idea is stupid. But this post doesn't show that, it shows that some unrelated tool doesn't work.

High-drama coming-out party.
Does she have a public persona? Who is this person?
