It's definitely transphobic but I gotta say this is some impressive tech. The verification pic I took of my junk had pretty poor lighting and it still wouldn't let me sign up. Not sure why it thought I'd be wearing glasses on my penis but w/e.

The fact that Sall is literally reading this thread and absolutely seething is just :chefs-kiss:

Of course you're from the Gold Coast, Sall. The jokes write themselves

just used my own face for their ai recognition thing just to see if itd work and it fucking did lmao

i am now a TERF certified passing transgenderist

Please shove phone down your pants to continue

Also who wants to bet their AI shits all over the floor when it has to analyse a black person's face

"Secured by gender verification" — Phrenology for transphobes.

dearest ceo of terf tech,

:get-in::gui-trans:

sincerly, :chapochat-trans:

connect with girls to form a giggle

yay! it's giggle time

sounds like it's for 5 year olds

She turned that old, cringey FBI "female body inspector" t-shirt into an app.

Also holy shit, TERF twitter is fucking disgusting. Do they not realize they use all the same rhetoric as chuds just dressed as "yay women! Boo men"?

...just take the "cancel culture! Freeze peach!" and replace it with "being near men is violence! death threats!".

...like yeah, go die. Support for all trans comrades, LGBTQ community, and feminists. Death to the transphobes.

Why call it 'giggle'

Such a cringe name :cringe:

How much you want to bet their terf AI is also racist and does the thing where it fails at recognizing black people

New reminder (after the usage of facial recognition by the police during the protests of course, but also after the more recent twitter cropping thing) that most current AI computer vision software that exists have a racist and sexist bias. Joy Buolamwini and the now famous Timnit Gebru showed in 2018 that systems showing a >99% accuracy for gender classification were actually mostly evaluated on (and developed by?) white men, and that there was a 35 points drop in accuracy when evaluating on a black female dataset. Basically, if you're a black woman, there is a >1/3 chance that AI will classify you as a man.

(They re-evaluated the same software in a later paper showing that, compared to a control group of products that were not in the initial study, the fairness of the systems exposed improved over time. So it seems that even when it's through academic publications, bullying works.)

But with this app the additional problem is that the system misgendering someone will not even be considered as a bug, but precisely as a feature.

Is this that app that measures your skull to decide if you're a "real" woman? Lol, it feels like a Chapo/trashfuture bit, it's literal digital calipers.

Like 100% guarantee that their shitty AI will fuck up most of the time and all these TERFs will start clawing each other's eyes out because the app labeled them as Trans.

I mean if they were smart they would just let everyone in, knowing no self-respecting Trans-person would ever bother signing up for this fucking thing, but let's be honest the entire point of this app is the transphobic AI.

just FYI; AI tested images available at thispersondoesnotexist.com

if somebody wanted to trick a malevolent AI of some sort. for some reason.

★☆☆☆☆

They dont let the hot women devilishly handsome dudes nor the ethereal thembos from :flag-trans-pride: on the app. No point in using it.

The founder's twitter is just disgusting.

I just want to say to all my trans comrades I love you and I will never stop fighting for you.

More reason to punch terfs

Hi Sall! You’re an extremely shitty person and I hope your app fails, TERF.
