Makes sense. How physiognomy was used in the 19. century was bullshit (phrenology with skull measuring and whatnot) but the face is a display of your genetical base, your hormonal exposure while growing up and of your health currently. Btw, that’s why the face is important in dating.
And you do use it the same way in social context, although subsconsciously.
Look, i’m an Asperger and use the same mechanism regularly, to guess how the person would react. It’s not obscure and not bullshit. People just don’t like that they are more transparent than they think.

Everything is a display of everything else affecting it.
You are in some sense correct.
But using statistical instruments requires deep understanding of how they work. The article hints at that too.

My experience is very different. When I see faces on photos, I get a completely different impression than seeing their owners personally and talking to them. Including romantic context.

Also what’s attractive to you might not be for me.
Sure, you don’t see traumata etc on the face. It’s just a base estimate and some people are better in it than others.
This just one scary side of AI.
The idea of corporate level integration of this stuff is straight out of Black Mirror.
We’re right around the corner from the corpo AI keeping tabs on your pupil dilation as you read your emails. If we aren’t there already.
Sure if you know nothing about biology, sociology, “AI”, etc.
I do. Seems like you don’t know enough.
