That's not face recognition. That's face detection. It just detects faces and sticks a label from a pre-selected list. Come on, this doesn't even pass the basic smell test. "Facial recognition" my ass. It doesn't recognize anyone. I could build this in a cave with scraps. There's a huge difference between the two: recognition means you have found a known person, detection means you found a person.

That's about the difference between eating sodium chloride and eating sodium.

You're right but I don't understand why you're so hostile about it. At any rate, it's still making the same point regardless.
