Microsoft's How-Old.net is not very good at guessing Dallas celebrities' ages

Microsoft thinks it has created a robot that can guess someone's age simply by analyzing a picture of their face. You can try it for yourself at how-old.net, either by searching Bing for faces or by uploading your own.

Generally speaking, it's not very accurate.

The first picture I uploaded was one of myself, because I'm vain. My robot overlords thought I was 10 years older than I actual am, which, if I'm being honest, is a mistake that humans have also made.
