Judging a Book: AI Can Predict Politics from Face Photo

Researchers are warning that facial recognition technologies are "more threatening than previously thought" and pose "serious challenges to privacy" after a study found that artificial intelligence can be successful in predicting a person's political orientation based on images of expressionless faces. "Facebook shows you their picture, and what our study shows is that this is essentially to some extent the equivalent to just telling you what their political orientation is."

Getting some phrenology vibes, but I wonder how far this goes.

Can we identify extremism from photos? For instance, do people have resting-January 6th Insurrectionist-face? And could they have that look going back to infancy?

There have been studies that shroom use can help increase empathy. Empathy being one of those traits associated with bleeding-heart libs. So would an after photo of a conservative exposed to shrooms be diagnosed as more liberal than the before?

Alternatively, `a conservative is just a liberal who has been mugged', so would three or four ethnic minorities kicking the sheet out of a liberal before taking his wallet cause a higher conservative calculation?

I demand more experiments!
