All that hubbub from the left about AI and apps that read faces for personality traits (and the subsequent cries of racism/ sexism/ blah blah) have made me want to take a look. See what they say about my personality traits, background, whatever. Anybody have good links to any that haven't been banned or neutered yet?

I think there is something to physiognomy, enough that AI would be able to have a higher than chance likelyhood of picking things up. Forget race, if nothing else it could have a good guess from just the effects of T and body fat. Stronger jaw..., this then allows you to predict average behaviors and beliefs. It's not rocket science, it's an observable trend we can all see, every person you pass and talk to, unless we delude ourselves into not seeing it. You don't judge people by their face?
The issue though is how would you train ai to do it.
First idea would be mugshots as to where I'd go for the training, because each is linked to a crime, with each crime having ties to particular personality characteristics.
Facebook. Lots of people post hundreds of pictures of themselves, and also openly mention their political beliefs in their bios.
