Probably because he was with some of them trading Pokémon cards at the time, couldn’t have been him, everyone has a doppelgänger

Come to think of it, how accurately can facial recognition tell apart to people who look very similar?

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 3 points 1 week ago

It can't.

Also, and I have no idea what race this person is, but facial recognition tents to be even worse when it comes to minority groups, especially black people. Because its more often created and tested by white or asian dudes.

Which has absolutely terrible implications when you consider it gets used for things like Flock, for crimes, which already have a racism problem skewed against black people.
