This is why I am here! So excited for this.
Oh yay!! I'm so glad- thanks for coming!! 💕
I remember that tweet.
Full circle! haha
So much fun!
Yay!! Thanks for watching! 🔮
I choose Toad or Yoshi! Excited to see what this says about me...
Yaaas Toad & Yoshi ftw! They make some of the best sounds 🤪
Wario all day
Ah- I see you are evil, like my boyfriend 😳😂😜
Haha, Wario is just a fun, happy-go-lucky guy. It’s Waluigi that you have to worry about 👀
shoutout for all my fellow waluigi mains
lol yaaaaas!!
I never get to pick first, so I never get to be Princess Peach or Yoshi because my kids choose them, so I end up being Luigi. I'm not important enough in the family to choose Mario. Besides, I usually lose.
hahaha- the sacrifices we make for children. 😜
The concept behind this project is ridiculous but I am 100% here for it! You've inspired me to run with whatever crazy, tweet joke ideas I come up with.
❤️
omg yas!! If that's the main takeaway: mission accomplished! Fun/silly/ridiculous demos ftw! Highly recommend following Danielle Baskin for more content like this! 🤩 twitter.com/djbaskin
don't dare me to cosplay as ludwig because i totally will 😂😂
WE NEED THE DATA, BRIAN!! 😂
I stepped away to get a drink, how did we get on cosplay? I'm so here for this. As a staff photographer for several anime conventions I have literally thousands upon thousands of cosplayer photos sitting on a HD I can try this on.
hahaha- once I discovered that the Microsoft Face API needed human images (vs cartoon) I decided to use cosplay images for my data!
The video will be posted here soon, so you can check out what ya missed 🤩
This is AWESOME!!!
Thanks!! I hope it inspires lotsa fun new playful versions of "astrology" 🔮
giving me some good ideas for my next chatbot!
Oooh yay! Please share when you're done! 🤩
my favorites were toad and yoshi
oooh yes! I'm a Toadette gal myself 💕
How confidently can the API detect the features in a photo of darker skinned POC?
In my experience, the Face API has been incredibly accurate and has been trained on a diverse set of faces/images! Many of the cosplay images I used for this particular project were images of POC, and I had no trouble. If you try it yourself and run into any issues, please let me know and I'll provide that feedback directly to the eng team! 🌈
