"Deep neural networks are more accurate than humans at detecting sexual orientation from facial images." https://osf.io/fk3xr/

I read that with interest; it suggests that sexual orientation is reflected in a number of facial assets. I suspect that some of this is "learned" behaviour, or imitation of others with a similar sexual persuasion, in order to advertise orientation, in the same way that accents are "caught". The computer is able to pick up on these subtle cues.

AI gaydar outperforms humans

Sexual orientation is not predetermined by our genes, so deep neural networks cannot rely on genetic informations to compute the sexual orientation.

"Sexual orientation is not predetermined by our genes"
Nobody said it was, but it is strongly influenced by our genes.
"deep neural networks cannot rely on genetic informations to compute the sexual orientation."
Nobody said they could, or did.

The AI wasn't using genetics, it was judging from their faces, (which can be shaped by the pre-natal environment)  ...

The AI is not going to be 100% accurate : its "composite heterosexual" could be a bear.

The personality is built upon genetic based firmware. This personality firmware or the collective unconscious are common to all humans and define us as a species. These firmware gives us common human propensities at an unconscious level.

The firmware has many layers, with this layering staggered relative to male and female. Male and female are complements due to this staggering; team affect. An analogy is two messed gears, which are the same at some level, but also opposites when properly meshed; phase difference.

As part of the firmware, males have a female side; anima, and females have a male side; animus. This is expected since we have half male and half female genes; from father and mother.  However, due to layering the male side of a female is secondary and the female side of a male is secondary to their primary with is defined by their physical sex. However, it is not out of the question to recenter oneself in the firmware, out of phase. One result is homosexuality.

As an example of the male side of a female, the most pronounced is when a woman nags. The masculine secondary of the female attempts to dominate but in a primitive way. As an example of the female side of male, this is when a male becomes sentimental and emotional. This is a primitive woman due to its unconscious nature.

Since men and women can mesh, which can also extrapolate to mother and son and/or father and daughter, consider the situation where the male side of the mother is pronounced and induces the female side of both her husband and son to mesh. The husband will get moody all the time, and the son may show high levels of sensitivity. In the extreme case the son will have no strong masculine centered father, to counteract the meshing. Overtime we get a transformation of the son into a he-she center; epigenetic, which has a lot of unconsciousness; compulsive.

I don't think that AI could outperform a human... or not now)
AI is really young now
Our gadgets can already process a large amount of information and help us solve daily problems as well but they cannot be compared to the human brain yet. But artificial intelligence in business can change everything.

Yes it can. And it will.

Didin't you hear that story a couple of months ago when they shut down a study on AI when it developed it's own language, lol ? People believe that the future belongs to those, who master the AI first.. imagine wars with AI.
